ERGIC2 has a mass of approximately 45 kDa. It is an integral membrane protein widely expressed in various tissues and particularly prominent in the liver and kidney. This protein plays a significant role in regulating the trafficking of proteins between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus important for proper cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nERGIC2 contributes to the maintenance of the cellular infrastructure by facilitating the efficient transport of proteins. It is an essential component of the early secretory pathway and plays a role in protein sorting and vesicle formation. ERGIC2 participates in a well-defined protein complex associated with COPII-coated vesicles which aid in cargo transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. Its interaction within this complex highlights its importance in cellular logistics and management.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nERGIC2 participates actively in the ER-Golgi transport pathway and the secretory pathway. These pathways are essential for efficient protein trafficking and processing. ERGIC2 interacts with other proteins such as COPII components including SEC23 and SEC24 which are integral to the formation of transport vesicles. These interactions highlight how ERGIC2 fits into larger pathways that ensure cellular homeostasis and functionality.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlterations in ERGIC2 expression have been observed in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Insufficient or excess ERGIC2 can impair protein trafficking leading to cellular stress and disease progression. Its role in these disorders bridges it to proteins like APP (Amyloid precursor protein) in Alzheimer's disease potentially affecting amyloid processing and aggregation. Understanding ERGIC2's function may offer insights into therapeutic strategies for these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845161996457,"sku":"ab265745","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab265745","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
