Emc9 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to contribute to membrane insertase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein insertion into ER membrane by stop-transfer membrane-anchor sequence and tail-anchored membrane protein insertion into ER membrane. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of EMC complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human EMC9 (ER membrane protein complex subunit 9). [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 Emc9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Mpr1p, Pad1p N-terminal (MPN) domains
- protein binding
- Uncharacterized protein family (UPF0172)
Subcellular Expression
