Golgi Transport Protein 1B (GOLT1B)

GOLT1B belongs to the GOT1 family.May be involved in fusion of ER-derived transport vesicles with the Golgi complex. Modern biomedical research greatly benefits from large-scale genome-sequencing projects ranging from studies of viruses, bacteria, and yeast to multicellular organisms, like Caenorhabditis elegans. Comparative genomic studies offer a vast array of prospects for identification and functional annotation of human ortholog genes.The C. elegans proteome was used as an alignment template to assist in novel human gene identification from human EST nucleotide databases. Among the available 18,452 C. elegans protein sequences, At least 83% of C. elegans proteome has human homologous genes, with 7,954 records of C. elegans proteins matching known human gene transcripts.
