Category:GO:0072379 ! ER membrane insertion complex

name: ER membrane insertion complex
namespace: cellular_component
def: "A protein complex that is involved in the post-translational delivery of tail-anchored (TA) membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. TA membrane proteins, also called type II transmembrane proteins, contain a single C-terminal transmembrane region. Some ER membrane insertion complex subunits are conserved between different species such as mammals and budding yeast." [GOC:mah, PMID:20676083, PMID:20850366]
