Also known as p250Sec16L
Summary
SEC16A (SEC16 homolog A, endoplasmic reticulum export factor, HGNC:29006) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q34.3, encoding Protein transport protein Sec16A (O15027). Acts as a molecular scaffold that plays a key role in the organization of the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES), also known as transitional endoplasmic reticulum (tER). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 67.3% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that forms part of the Sec16 complex. This protein has a role in protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi and mediates COPII vesicle formation at the transitional ER. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.

- Sar1-GTP-dependent assembly of Sec16 on the endoplasmic reticulum(ER) membrane forms an organized scaffold defining ER exit sites (PMID:17005010)
- Mammalian cells contain two distinct Sec16 homologues: a large protein Sec16L of 2154 aa and a smaller protein Sec16S of 1060 aa. (PMID:17192411)
- Results suggest that KIAA0310p, a mammalian homologue of yeast Sec16, builds up endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit sites in cooperation with p125 and plays a role in membrane traffic from the ER. (PMID:17428803)
- These data are consistent with a model where Sec16 acts as a platform for COPII assembly at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites. (PMID:19638414)
- Sec16A remains associated with endoplasmic reticulum exit sites throughout mitosis. (PMID:21045114)
- Data show that knockdown of Sec16B but not Sec16A by RNAi affected the morphology of peroxisomes, inhibited the transport of Pex16 from the ER to peroxisomes, and suppressed expression of Pex3. (PMID:21768384)
- LRRK2 regulates the anterograde endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi transport through anchoring Sec16A at the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES). (PMID:25201882)

- Results suggest that it is the presence of rare syntenic SEC16A and MAMDC4 deletions that increases susceptibility to axial spondyloarthritis in family members who carry the HLA-B*27 allele. (PMID:25956157)
- these findings highlight a novel function of Sec16A as an essential mediator of endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated unconventional secretion. (PMID:28067262)
- Mammalian endoplasmic reticulum exit sites are organized by TANGO1 acting as a scaffold, in cooperation with Sec16 for efficient secretion. (PMID:28442536)

Function. Acts as a molecular scaffold that plays a key role in the organization of the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES), also known as transitional endoplasmic reticulum (tER). SAR1A-GTP-dependent assembly of SEC16A on the ER membrane forms an organized scaffold defining an ERES. Required for secretory cargo traffic from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Mediates the recruitment of MIA3/TANGO to ERES. Regulates both conventional (ER/Golgi-dependent) and GORASP2-mediated unconventional (ER/Golgi-independent) trafficking of CFTR to cell membrane. Positively regulates the protein stability of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases RNF152 and RNF183 and the ER localization of RNF183. Acts as a RAB10 effector in the regulation of insulin-induced SLC2A4/GLUT4 glucose transporter-enriched vesicles delivery to the cell membrane in adipocytes.
Subunit / interactions. SEC16A and SEC16B are each present in multiple copies in a heteromeric complex. Interacts with SEC23A. Interacts with RNF183 and RNF152. Interacts with LRRK2 (via ROC domain). Interacts with SEC13. Interacts with RAB10. Interacts with MIA3. Interacts with GORASP2 in response to ER stress.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Cytosol. Microsome membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Expressed at higher levels in the pancreas.
Similarity. Belongs to the SEC16 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 191 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.
