Co-localization with the cis-Golgi marker GM130/GOLGA2 (RRID:AB_398141) for a refined protein localization within the Golgi apparatus in U-2 OS cells. STX5 localizes to the Golgi apparatus, but not to the cis-Golgi compartment.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
STX5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
SED5, STX5A
Description
Syntaxin 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the syntaxin or t-SNARE (target-SNAP receptor) family. These proteins are found on cell membranes and serve as the targets for v-SNAREs (vesicle-SNAP receptors), permitting specific synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. The encoded protein regulates endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi transport and plays a critical role in autophagy. Autoantibodies targeting the encoded protein may be a diagnostic marker for endometriosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
