Syntaxin 16 (STX16, also SNY16) is a 39kD member of the syntaxin family of proteins. It is ubiquitously expressed, embedded in the Golgi membrane, and participates in the fusion of early endosomes with the Golgi stacks. Syntaxin 16 contributes one of four coiled-coil domains necessary for retrograde transport. Human...

Syntaxins are type II integral membrane proteins localized to membranes that regulate vesicle transport, protein maturation, and exocytosis. Syntaxin 1A resides in the nerve terminals of sensory neurons and nerve fibers reaching small blood vessels. Syntaxin 2 localizes to the apical plasma membrane and regulates...
