Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is an ATPase found primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope. This gene has a highly-similar neighboring gene, TOR1A, that encodes a protein that is likely to interact in a complex with this protein. Finally, this protein may act as a chaperone and play a role in maintaining the integrity of the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and others non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015] |
