Translocon-associated protein subunit gamma (SSR3)

The protein contains 185 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 21080 Da.

 

TRAP proteins are part of a complex whose function is to bind calcium to the ER membrane and thereby regulate the retention of ER resident proteins. (updated: Oct. 10, 2018)

Translocon-associated protein, gamma subunit; trapg

DESCRIPTION

Proteins are translocated across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at specific sites called translocons, probably through protein-conducting channels. Signal sequence receptors, such as SSR3, are associated with the TRAM protein (605190), the major crosslinking partner in the translocation activity (summary by Hartmann et al., 1993).

CLONING

By immunoaffinity chromatography, biochemical purification, peptide sequence analysis, and screening of a rat liver cDNA library, Hartmann et al. (1993) obtained a cDNA encoding Ssr3, which they termed Trap-gamma. The deduced 185-amino acid protein spans the membrane 4 times and is expressed as a 20-kD protein.

GENE FUNCTION

Hartmann et al. (1993) found that Ssr3 was associated in equal amounts with Ssr1 (600868), Ssr2 (600867), and Ssr4 (300090) in canine pancreatic microsomes.

MAPPING

Gross (2012) mapped the SSR3 gene to chromosome 3q25.31 based on an alignment of the SSR3 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF087907) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). ... More on the omim web site
