Stx7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables SNAP receptor activity and SNARE binding activity. Involved in endosome to lysosome transport and vesicle fusion. Located in late endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Part of SNARE complex. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human STX7 (syntaxin 7). [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 Stx7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
