SEC23B

Chr 20ADAR

SEC23 homolog B, COPII component

Also known as: CDA-II, CDAII, CDAN2, CWS7, HEMPAS, hSec23B

SEC23B encodes a component of the COPII coat protein complex that promotes formation of transport vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum and selects cargo molecules for transport to the Golgi complex. Mutations cause congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II and possibly Cowden syndrome 7, with both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns reported. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants, suggesting tolerance to certain types of mutations.
