Secondary Information

Protein Function export proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum; retrograde transport of luminal and membrane proteins in the ER-Golgi segment of the secretory pathway; play a role in the correct steady-state distribution of proteins within the Golgi stack. alpha-COPI was found to be required for the formation of RER whorls in midgut epithelial cells of unfed Aa. aegypti mosquitoes, as well as for the expression of late phase midgut proteases.
Biochemical Properties involves members of a family of 23–24 kD type-I transmembrane proteins (the p24 family) that are sorted into coat protein (COPI) vesicles where they become a major constituent; COPI subunits of the cytosolic coatomer complex exhibit significant structural heterogeneity; ß-COP exists as three to five distinct species, while δ-COP exists as up to three species with differing pI but identical molecular weights; Ɣ-COP - pI ;5.9
PTMs As observed in rat liver, ß and δ-COP are phosphorylated
