Gene: STX8

Alternate names for this Gene: CARB

Gene Summary: The gene is a member of the syntaxin family. The encoded protein is involved in protein trafficking from early to late endosomes via vesicle fusion and exocytosis. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p13.1

Description of this Gene: syntaxin 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
