Stx12 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and SNARE binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cholesterol efflux; endosomal transport; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; membrane raft; and phagophore assembly site. Predicted to be part of BLOC-1 complex and SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in postsynaptic endosome membrane; postsynaptic recycling endosome; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; ganglia; sensory organ; and spinal cord ventral horn. Orthologous to human STX12 (syntaxin 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 mouse Stx12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
