Snx4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endocytic recycling; positive regulation of autophagosome assembly; and positive regulation of histamine secretion by mast cell. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex and cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to be active in early endosome membrane; plasma membrane; and presynaptic endosome. Orthologous to human SNX4 (sorting nexin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 rat Snx4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
