Sec14

Sec14 is a cytosolic protein found in yeast which plays a role in the regulation of several cellular functions, specifically those related to intracellular transport. Encoded by the Sec14 gene, Sec14p may transport phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine produced in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi body to other cellular membranes. Additionally, Sec14p potentially plays a role in the localization of lipid raft proteins. Sec14p is an essential gene in yeast, and is homologous in function to phosphatidylinositol transfer protein in mammals. A conditional mutant with non-functional Sec14p presents with Berkeley bodies and deficiencies in protein secretion.
