    Summary
    Enables syntaxin binding activity. Involved in regulation of protein localization; retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi; and vesicle fusion. Acts upstream of or within endocytic recycling. Located in several cellular components, including early endosome; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and trans-Golgi network. Part of SNARE complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
