Essential 88kDa subunit of the exocyst complex; the exocyst mediates polarized targeting and tethering of post-Golgi secretory vesicles to active sites of exocytosis at the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated fusion; anchors the assembled complex to sites of secretion; interacts with SM-like protein and SNARE regulator Sec1p and may recruit it to sites of secretion; binds to SNARE complexes binteracting with Sec9p [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001330]
Chromosome IX: 233,057-235,474 reverse strand.
