Rabbit anti-Human SEC62 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q99442

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SEC62

Target Full Name

Translocation protein SEC62

Target Function

Mediates post-translational transport of precursor polypeptides across endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proposed to act as a targeting receptor for small presecretory proteins containing short and apolar signal peptides. Targets and properly positions newly synthesized presecretory proteins into the SEC61 channel-forming translocon complex, triggering channel opening for polypeptide translocation to the ER lumen.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

SEC62 family

Target Synonyms

SEC62; TLOC1; Translocation protein SEC62; Translocation protein 1; TP-1; hTP-1

Target Background

The Sec61 complex is the central component of the protein translocation apparatus of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. The protein encoded by this gene and SEC63 protein are found to be associated with ribosome-free SEC61 complex. It is speculated that Sec61-Sec62-Sec63 may perform post-translational protein translocation into the ER. The Sec61-Sec62-Sec63 complex might also perform the backward transport of ER proteins that are subject to the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation pathway. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein located in the rough ER.
