Stx6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in endocytic recycling; retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi; and synaptic vesicle to endosome fusion. Located in recycling endosome and trans-Golgi network membrane. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human STX6 (syntaxin 6). [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 Stx6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
