Translocon-associated protein subunit delta is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the SSR4gene.[5][6]
SSR4, also called TRAPD, is assumed to be involved in
protein secretion. It is located in the
Xq28 region, arranged in a compact head-to-head manner with the
IDH3G gene. These two genes are driven by a bidirectional
promoter located between them and encode proteins involved in unrelated
biochemical pathways located in different compartments of the cell. The nontranscribed intergenic region represents only 133 bp and is embedded in a
CpG island. The CpG island functions as a bidirectional promoter to initiate the
transcription of both functionally unrelated genes with distinct
expression patterns. SSR4 consists of six
exons and is approximately 70 kb telomeric length from the ALD gene. Although
alternative splicing of exon 5 has not been detected in the human SSR4 gene, transcript variants missing the region homologous to the human exon 5 have been detected in both Xenopus laevis and Mus musculus.[6]
