Signal recognition particle 14kDa (homologous Alu RNA binding protein)
Gene Summary
SRP14 belongs to the SRP14 family. The signal-recognition-particle assembly has a crucial role in targeting secretory proteins to the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. SRP9 together with SRP14 and the Alu portion of the SRP RNA, constitutes the elongation arrest domain of SRP. The complex of SRP9 and SRP14 is required for SRP RNA binding.
