Rabbit anti-Human STX17 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P56962

Target Species

Human

Target Name

STX17

Target Full Name

Syntaxin-17

Target Function

SNAREs, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors, are essential proteins for fusion of cellular membranes. SNAREs localized on opposing membranes assemble to form a trans-SNARE complex, an extended, parallel four alpha-helical bundle that drives membrane fusion. STX17 is a SNARE of the autophagosome involved in autophagy through the direct control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysosome membrane. May also play a role in the early secretory pathway where it may maintain the architecture of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment/ERGIC and Golgi and/or regulate transport between the endoplasmic reticulum, the ERGIC and the Golgi.

Target Background

Enables SNAP receptor activity; SNARE binding activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autophagosome membrane docking; endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment organization. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to phagophore assembly site. Located in several cellular components, including autophagosome membrane; endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment; and mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Part of SNARE complex. Colocalizes with HOPS complex.
