background:
The product of this gene belongs to the SEC15 family. It is highly similar to the protein encoded by Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEC15 gene. This protein is essential for vesicular traffic from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface in yeast. It is one of the components of a multiprotein complex required for exocytosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
EXOC6 is a component of the exocyst complex involved in the docking of exocystic vesicles with fusion sites on the plasma membrane.
Subunit:
The exocyst complex is composed of EXOC1, EXOC2, EXOC3, EXOC4, EXOC5, EXOC6, EXOC7 and EXOC8. Interacts with CNTRL. Interacts with RAB11A in a GTP-dependent manner (By similarity).
Similarity:
Belongs to the SEC15 family.
