General annotation (Comments)

Function

Vesicle trafficking protein that functions in the early secretory pathway, possibly by mediating retrograde transport from cis-Golgi membranes to the ER.

Subunit structure

Part of the SNARE core complex containing STX7, VAMP8 and VTI1B. Interacts with VAMP8. Forms a SNARE complex with STX7, VTI1B and VAMP8 which functions in the homotypic fusion of late endosomes. Component of the SNARE complex composed of STX7, STX8, VAMP7 and VTI1B that is required for heterotypic fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes in liver cells. Interacts with HECTD3 By similarity. Ref.3

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Note: Preferentially associated with the early endosome. To lesser extends, also present in late endosome, the plasma membrane and coated pits.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed in all tissues examined.

Post-translational modification

Ubiquitinated by HECTD3 By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the syntaxin family.

Contains 1 t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain.
