Sec63 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within liver development; nitrogen cycle metabolic process; and protein targeting to ER. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be part of Sec62/Sec63 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic liver disease 2. Orthologous to human SEC63 (SEC63 homolog, protein translocation regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sec63 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
