Sec24b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in COPII-coated vesicle cargo loading. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including artery morphogenesis; nervous system development; and regulation of establishment of planar polarity involved in neural tube closure. Located in COPII-coated ER to Golgi transport vesicle. Orthologous to human SEC24B (SEC24 homolog B, COPII coat complex component). [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 rat Sec24b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
