COPZ1 COPI coat complex subunit zeta 1

Gene ID: 22818, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: COPZ; CGI-120; HSPC181; zeta-COP; zeta1-COP

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the cytoplasmic coatamer protein complex, which is involved in autophagy and intracellular protein trafficking. The coatomer protein complex is comprised of seven subunits and functions as the coat protein of coat protein complex (COP)I-vesicles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
