EXOC8
Chr 1ARexocyst complex component 8
The protein is a component of the exocyst complex that docks exocytic vesicles to the plasma membrane for secretion. Mutations cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, seizures, and brain atrophy, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating intolerance to protein disruption.
