CATEGORY

receptor , transport

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,granule
text	associated preferentially with primary granules but could also be found with secondary and tertiary granules

basic FUNCTION	soluble N ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptor, SNARE protein
	may be playing a role in the regulation of secretory granule dynamics in mast cells
	acting in a step different from SNARE complex formation and fusion
	putatively involved in granule exocytosis
	involved in the protein trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane
	together with syntaxin-3 regulate degranulation positively during the process of membrane fusion between secretory granules and plasma membrane, rather than during processes that regulate the number or behavior of secretory granules
	together with STX3 regulate degranulation positively during the process of membrane fusion between secretory granules and plasma membrane, rather than during processes that regulate the number or behavior of secretory granules
	acting as a regulator of primary granule exocytosis, while STXBP3 may preferentially regulate the fusion of secondary granules
	involved in the regulation of vesicle transport to the plasma membrane and having a key role in lytic granule exocytosis
	functionally coupled to the assembly of exocytic SNARE complexes and increases exocytosis by interacting with the N-peptide and closed-conformation C-terminus of STX3, thereby neutralizing the secretion-inhibitory effect of this SNARE

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	syntaxin (1a, 2, 3)
	interacts with the target-SNARE syntaxin 3
	syntaxin 11, a SNARE protein mutated in HPLH4, is an interaction partner of STXBP2
	binds STX3, VAMP8 and the assembled core SNARE complex consisting of STX3, SNAP23 and VAMP8
