Syntaxin 3

Template:PBB 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] An alternatively spliced Syntaxin 1 (STX1B) which lacks the transmembrane domain localizes to the cell nucleus.^[5]
