STX17 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables SNAP receptor activity; SNARE binding activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autophagosome membrane docking; endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment organization. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to phagophore assembly site. Located in several cellular components, including autophagosome membrane; endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment; and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Part of SNARE complex. Colocalizes with HOPS complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human STX17 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
