EMC1
Chr 1ARER membrane protein complex subunit 1
Also known as: CAVIPMR, KIAA0090
This protein is a component of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) that facilitates the insertion of newly synthesized membrane proteins into ER membranes, particularly those with weakly hydrophobic transmembrane domains. Biallelic mutations cause autosomal recessive cerebellar atrophy with visual impairment and psychomotor retardation. The gene shows no loss-of-function intolerance (pLI near zero), consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern.
