SEC31A

Chr 4AR

SEC31 homolog A, COPII component

Also known as: ABP125, ABP130, HPBKS, HSPC275, HSPC334, NEDSOSB, SEC31L1

SEC31A encodes a component of the COPII coat protein complex that promotes formation of transport vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Mutations cause Halperin-Birk syndrome, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.44), indicating intolerance to functional disruption.
