Copi
COPI is a coatomer, a protein complex that coats vesicle (biology), vesicles transporting proteins from the ''cis'' end of the Golgi complex back to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they were originally Translation (genetics), synthesized, and between Golgi compartments. This type of transport is ''retrograde transport'', in contrast to the ''anterograde transport'' associated with the COPII protein. The name "COPI" refers to the specific coat protein complex that initiates the budding process on the ''cis''-Golgi membrane. The coat consists of large protein subcomplexes that are made of seven different protein subunits, namely α, β, β', γ, Archain, δ, ε and COPZ1, ζ. Coat proteins Coat protein, or COPI, is an ADP ribosylation factor (ARF)-dependent protein involved in membrane traffic. COPI was first identified in retrograde traffic from the ''cis''-Golgi to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is the most extensively studied of ARF-dependent adaptors. ...
