Gene symbol: SYP21
Gene description: syntaxin of plants 21
Primary source: Araport:AT5G16830
Locus tag: AT5G16830
See related: TAIR:AT5G16830
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: ATPEP12; ATSYP21; PEP12; PEP12P; syntaxin of plants 21; syntaxin of plants 21
Summary: member of SYP2 Gene Family. Over-expression of the gene in tobacco protoplasts leads to a disruption of vacuolar transport from the prevacuolar compartment (PVC) to the vacuole, but not from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane.

What's a GeneRIF?

SYP21, SYP22 and SYP23 function redundantly in vacuolar protein transport, vein patterning, myrosin cell differentiation and plant growth.
Title: Arabidopsis Qa-SNARE SYP2 proteins localized to different subcellular regions function redundantly in vacuolar protein sorting and plant development.
The functions of VAM3/SYP22 and PEP12/SYP21 are redundant and interchangeable.
Title: Vacuolar/pre-vacuolar compartment Qa-SNAREs VAM3/SYP22 and PEP12/SYP21 have interchangeable functions in Arabidopsis.
PEP12/SYP21 is involved in vacuolar sorting and excess of this syntaxin in the prevacuolar complex can be detrimental for further transport from this organelle.
Title: Overexpression of the Arabidopsis syntaxin PEP12/SYP21 inhibits transport from the prevacuolar compartment to the lytic vacuole in vivo.
