Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

SEC23A is a core inner-coat component of the COPII vesicle complex that mediates anterograde ER-to-Golgi transport, with particular importance for secretion of collagens and other extracellular matrix proteins in connective tissues (PMID:16980979, PMID:16980978, PMID:26494538). Its transcription is activated by ER-stress-responsive factors including CREB3L2/BBF2H7 and STAT3, while post-translationally, ULK1 phosphorylation at S207 disrupts the SEC23A–SEC31A interaction to inhibit COPII function during autophagy, and unconventional cysteine ubiquitylation at C432/C449 modulates its ER membrane association (PMID:19767744, PMID:28486929, PMID:28553408, PMID:37670384). Loss-of-function mutations in SEC23A cause cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia (CLSD) characterized by ER dilation, cargo accumulation, and craniofacial skeletal defects, while SEC23A and its paralog SEC23B are functionally interchangeable at the molecular level with tissue-specific expression differences accounting for their distinct disease associations (PMID:16980979, PMID:30065114, PMID:34818036). SEC23A-dependent secretion of specific cargoes including S100A8 and PF4 shapes the tumor microenvironment and suppresses metastatic colonization (PMID:32811814, PMID:34421345, PMID:21822286).
