Summary
Predicted to enable protein transmembrane transporter activity; ribosome binding activity; and signal sequence binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; positive regulation of iron ion transmembrane transport; and positive regulation of viral entry into host cell. Located in fusome and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval salivary gland; extended germ band embryo; gonad; and presumptive embryonic/larval system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy. Orthologous to human SEC61A1 (SEC61 translocon subunit alpha 1) and SEC61A2 (SEC61 translocon subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
