Endoplasmic reticulum vesicle transporter
This family is conserved from plants and fungi to humans. Erv46 works in close conjunction with Erv41 and together they form a complex which cycles between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. Erv46-41 interacts strongly with the endoplasmic reticulum glucosidase II. Mammalian glucosidase II comprises a catalytic alpha-subunit and a 58 kDa beta subunit, which is required for ER localization. All proteins identified biochemically as Erv41p-Erv46p interactors are localized to the early secretory pathway and are involved in protein maturation and processing in the ER and/or sorting into COPII vesicles for transport to the Golgi.
