Stx18 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; regulation of organelle organization; and retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human STX18 (syntaxin 18). [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 rat Stx18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
