Description
Description
The exocyst complex is composed of eight proteins. It is involved tethering secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane and may regulate other aspects of intracellular trafficking such as SNARE assembly, cytokinesis and endocytic recycling. The exocyst complex is a member of the Complex Associated with Tethering Containing Helical Rods (CATCHR) family. (Adapted from FBrf0219543).
