Full name: exocyst complex component 8

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: EXO84; Exo84p; NEDMISB; SEC84

Summary: This gene encodes a component of the exocyst complex, an evolutionarily conserved multi-protein complex that plays a critical role in vesicular trafficking and the secretory pathway by targeting post-Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane. This protein is a target of activated Ral subfamily of GTPases and thereby regulates exocytosis by tethering vesicles to the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene may be related to Joubert syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
