sec-23 encodes a component of COPII (coat protein complex II)-coated vesicles orthologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sec23p; by homology, SEC-23 is predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi transport; loss of sec-23 activity results in defects in oogenesis, morphogenesis, and extracellular matrix secretion; a SEC-23::GFP fusion protein localizes to the apical region of the endoplasmic reticulum of hypodermal cells, consistent with localization to endoplasmic reticulum exit sites.
