EXOC3L2 Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene is upregulated by vascular endothelial growth factor A and interacts with exocyst complex component 4. The encoded protein may be part of an exocyst complex that plays a role in cell membrane dynamics. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

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 EXOC3L2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
