MIA2 [ENSP00000491014]
Melanoma inhibitory activity protein 2; Plays a role in the transport of cargos that are too large to fit into COPII-coated vesicles and require specific mechanisms to be incorporated into membrane-bound carriers and exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:27138255, PubMed:21525241, PubMed:25202031, PubMed:27170179). Plays a role in the secretion of lipoproteins, pre-chylomicrons and pre-VLDLs, by participating in their export from the endoplasmic reticulum . Thereby, may play a role in cholesterol and triglyceride homeostasis (By similarity). Required for collagen VII (COL7A1) secretion by loading COL7A1 into transport carriers and recruiting PREB/SEC12 at the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (PubMed:21525241, PubMed:25202031, PubMed:27170179).
