Anti-Nicalin

function:May antagonize Nodal signaling and subsequent organization of axial structures during mesodermal patterning.,similarity:Belongs to the nicastrin family.,subunit:Interacts with NOMO2. Due to the strong similarity between NOMO1, NOMO2 and NOMO3, it probably also interacts with NOMO1 and NOMO3. Participates in a large protein complex, which is not related to the gamma-secretase complex.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in pancreas and skeletal muscle and, at lower levels, in heart., Protein function: Component of the multi-pass translocon (MPT) complex that mediates insertion of multi-pass membrane proteins into the lipid bilayer of membranes (PubMed:36261522, PubMed:32820719). The MPT complex takes over after the SEC61 complex: following membrane insertion of the first few transmembrane segments of proteins by the SEC61 complex, the MPT complex occludes the lateral gate of the SEC61 complex to promote insertion of subsequent transmembrane regions (PubMed:36261522). May antagonize Nodal signaling and subsequent organization of axial structures during mesodermal patterning, via its interaction with NOMO.
