Syntaxin 3

Syntaxin 3, also known as STX3, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the STX3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The is_associated_with::protein encoded by this gene is a member of the is_associated_with::syntaxin family of cellular receptors for transport vesicles which participate in is_associated_with::exocytosis in is_associated_with::neutrophils. STX3 has an important role in the growth of is_associated_with::neurites and serves as a direct target for omega-6 is_associated_with::arachidonic acid. Mutations in Syntaxin 3 cause Microvillus inclusion disease.

Interactions
Syntaxin 3 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::SNAP-25,  is_associated_with::SNAP23   and is_associated_with::SNAP29.
