Type: | Family | Name: | Exocyst complex, component 1/SEC3 |
Description: | The exocyst complex is composed of 8 subunits: Exoc1, Exoc2, Exoc3, Exoc4, Exoc5, Exoc6, Exoc7 and Exoc8. This entry represents the subunit Exoc1 (Sec3).Sec3 binds to the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of GLYT1 (glycine transporter protein 1). Sec3 is the exocyst component that is closest to the plasma membrane docking site and it serves as a spatial landmark in the plasma membrane for incoming secretory vesicles. Sec3 is recruited to the sites of polarised membrane growth through its interaction with Rho1p, a small GTP-binding protein []. | Short Name: | Exocyst_Exoc1/SEC3 |
