NP_013151.1
  • Integral ER membrane protein involved in protein sorting; component of ER-SURF, a pathway involved in retrieving mitochondrial membrane protein precursors and rerouting them to the mitochondrial translocation system; promotes the proteolytic degradation of non-productive mitochondrial precursor proteins suggesting involvement in quality control during protein import; GFP-fusion protein localizes to the ER; member of a conserved family of ER proteins including human homolog TMEM97
