SURO-2/TMEM39 Facilitates Collagen Secretion through the Formation of Large COPII Vesicles
2020-07-16
Abstract excerpt
Fibrosis of various tissues is a typical disease caused by excessive production and secretion of extracellular matrix. We used Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the formation of large transport vesicles to understand collagen secretion, a critical factor in fibrosis formation. The suro-2 mutant displays obvious defects in collagen secretion and cuticle structure including a rupture phenotype in early adults. T...
