Predicted to be involved in Golgi to plasma membrane transport and exocytosis. Predicted to be part of exocyst. Is expressed in several structures, including anal depressor muscle; excretory canal; hermaphrodite somatic gonadal cell; intestine; and tail neurons. Orthologous to human EXOC2 (exocyst complex component 2).
WB Description
The sec-5 gene encodes an ortholog of SEC5 in S. cerevisiae, a component of the exocyst complex required genetically for endocytosis and for normal cellular morphology in the intestine.
