Vesicle transport protein SEC20 (BNIP1)

As part of a SNARE complex may be involved in endoplasmic reticulum membranes fusion and also be required for the maintenance of endoplasmic reticulum organization (PubMed:15272311). Plays also a role in apoptosis (PubMed:7954800, PubMed:15272311, PubMed:23896122).

It is for instance required for endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis (PubMed:23896122). As a substrate of RNF185 interacting with SQSTM1, might also be involved in mitochondrial autophagy (Probable).
