Generic protein structure example

Syntaxin 3, also known as STX3, is a protein[1] which in humans is encoded by the STX3 gene.[2][3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the syntaxin family of cellular receptors for transport vesicles which participate in exocytosis in neutrophils.[2] STX3 has an important role in the growth of neurites and serves as a direct target for omega-6 arachidonic acid.[4] Mutations in Syntaxin 3 cause Microvillus inclusion disease.[5]

Interactions

Syntaxin 3 has been shown to interact with SNAP-25,[6][7][8] SNAP23[7][8][9][10] and SNAP29.[8]
