“…At the stage of ER export, mammalian homologues have been described for Sec12, Sar1, Sec23, Sec24, Sec13, and Sec31 (Kuge et al, 1994;Paccaud et al, 1996;Tang et al, 1997Tang et al, , 1999Weissman et al, 2001;Stankewich et al, 2006), and all of these proteins seem to function similarly to their yeast counterparts. However, mammalian cells often have more isoforms of a given COPII component.…”
