STX3 syntaxin 3

Gene ID: 6809, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MVID2; STX3A; DIAR12; RDMVID

Summary

The gene is a member of the syntaxin family. The encoded protein is targeted to the apical membrane of epithelial cells where it forms clusters and is important in establishing and maintaining polarity necessary for protein trafficking involving vesicle fusion and exocytosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
