UniProt data
UniProt name: ERLN2_HUMAN (O94905)
Gene name: ERLIN2; Synonyms=C8orf2, SPFH2; ORFNames=UNQ2441/PRO5003/PRO9924
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Component of the ERLIN1/ERLIN2 complex which mediates the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) such as ITPR1 (PubMed:19240031, PubMed:17502376). Promotes sterol-accelerated ERAD of HMGCR probably implicating an AMFR/gp78-containing ubiquitin ligase complex (PubMed:21343306). Involved in regulation of cellular cholesterol homeostasis by regulation the SREBP signaling pathway. May promote ER retention of the SCAP-SREBF complex (PubMed:24217618). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17502376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19240031, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21343306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24217618}.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16835267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17502376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19240031}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16835267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17502376, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19240031}. Note=Associated with lipid raft-like domains of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Transmembrane domains:
- 4-24, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 339 AA
