Description
Product Characteristics: SIL1, BAP, endoplasmic reticulum chaperone SIL1, homolog of yeast, BiP-associated protein, SIL1 homolog, endoplasmic reticulum chaperone (S. cerevisiae), MSS, ULG5, SIL1 protein
Target Information: This gene encodes a resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER), N-linked glycoprotein with an N-terminal ER targeting sequence, 2 putative N-glycosylation sites, and a C-terminal ER retention signal. This protein functions as a nucleotide exchange factor for another unfolded protein response protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
