Summary
EXOC7 (exocyst complex component 7, HGNC:23214) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q25.1, encoding Exocyst complex component 7 (Q9UPT5). Component of the exocyst complex involved in the docking of exocytic vesicles with fusion sites on the plasma membrane. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 25.2% of cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the exocyst complex. The exocyst complex plays a critical role in vesicular trafficking and the secretory pathway by targeting post-Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane. The encoded protein is required for assembly of the exocyst complex and docking of the complex to the plasma membrane. The encoded protein may also play a role in pre-mRNA splicing through interactions with pre-mRNA-processing factor 19. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 4.

Function. Component of the exocyst complex involved in the docking of exocytic vesicles with fusion sites on the plasma membrane. In adipocytes, plays a crucial role in targeting SLC2A4 vesicle to the plasma membrane in response to insulin, perhaps directing the vesicle to the precise site of fusion. It is required for neuron survival and plays an essential role in cortical development.
Subunit / interactions. The exocyst complex is composed of EXOC1, EXOC2, EXOC3, EXOC4, EXOC5, EXOC6, EXOC7 and EXOC8. Interacts with ARHQ in a GTP-dependent manner. Interacts with RAB11FIP3.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Cell membrane. Midbody. Midbody ring.
Tissue specificity. Abundant in the ventricular zone, the outer subventricular zone and the cortical plate of the fetal cortex.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with seizures and brain atrophy (NEDSEBA) [MIM:619072] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by brain atrophy, seizures, and developmental delay. Disease severity is variable. Severely affected individuals develop symptoms in utero, which may lead to spontaneous abortion. Patients at the mildest end of the phenotypic spectrum have onset of seizures later in childhood and show developmental delay with mildly impaired intellectual development and minimal brain atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The N-terminus is involved in SEC8 and ARHQ binding. The C-terminus is required for translocation to the plasma membrane.
Miscellaneous. May be due to intron retention.
Similarity. Belongs to the EXO70 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 149 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
