UniProt functional annotation for P61924

UniProt code: P61924.

Organism:		Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy:		Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
Function:		The coatomer is a cytosolic protein complex that binds to dilysine motifs and reversibly associates with Golgi non-clathrin- coated vesicles, which further mediate biosynthetic protein transport from the ER, via the Golgi up to the trans Golgi network. Coatomer complex is required for budding from Golgi membranes, and is essential for the retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport of dilysine-tagged proteins (By similarity). The zeta subunit may be involved in regulating the coat assembly and, hence, the rate of biosynthetic protein transport due to its association-dissociation properties with the coatomer complex (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53600}.
Subunit:		Oligomeric complex that consists of at least the alpha, beta, beta', gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta subunits. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location:		Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPI-coated vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=The coatomer is cytoplasmic or polymerized on the cytoplasmic side of the Golgi, as well as on the vesicles/buds originating from it. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity:		Belongs to the adaptor complexes small subunit family. {ECO:0000305}.
