EMC7 Gene

Name ER membrane protein complex subunit 7
Description Contributes to membrane insertase activity. Involved in protein insertion into ER membrane by stop-transfer membrane-anchor sequence and tail-anchored membrane protein insertion into ER membrane. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Part of EMC complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n EMC7, a subunit of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex, has been implicated in distinct cellular functions according to recent studies. In one investigation, EMC7—working alongside EMC4—was shown to facilitate infection by simian virus 40 (SV40) through promoting transport from the late endosome to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mechanistically, EMC7 appears to engage with the late endosome‐associated protein Rab7 and bind to the ER fusion machinery component syntaxin 18, thereby acting as a molecular tether that stabilizes inter-organelle contacts and ensures efficient viral trafficking."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In a separate study focused on cutaneous adnexal neoplasms, an EMC7–NUTM1 gene fusion was detected in a poroid tumor, suggesting that rearrangements involving EMC7 may contribute to oncogenic processes in rare tumor subgroups."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Parikshit Bagchi, Mauricio Torres, Ling Qi, et al.
