STX4
Plasma membrane t-SNARE that mediates docking of transport vesicles. Necessary for the translocation of SLC2A4 from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane. Together with STXB3 and VAMP2, may also play a role in docking/fusion of intracellular GLUT4-containing vesicles with the cell surface in adipocytes. May also play a role in docking of synaptic vesicles at presynaptic active zones. Belongs to the syntaxin family. Expressed in neutrophils and neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells. Expression in neutrophils increases with differentiation. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
