    basic FUNCTION
  • target-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (SNARE)
  • plays a role in the growth of breast cancer cells (Bassett 2008)
  • SNAP (soluble NSF attachment protein) receptor localized in the ER, is important for the organization of two ER subdomains, smooth/rough ER membranes and ER exit sites (Iinuma 2009)
  • has an important role in ER subdomain organization by mediating the fusion of retrograde membrane carriers with the ER membrane (Iinuma 2009)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    text transport between RE and Golgi
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • ER (endoplasmic reticulum)-localized syntaxin 18 (Qa-SNARE) forms a complex with BNIP1 (Qb-SNARE), USE1(Qc-SNARE), SEC22B (R-SNARE) and several peripheral membrane proteins (Aoki 2008)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • association with SEC22B induces an increase in alpha-. helicity of their SNARE motifs, which results in the formation of high-affinity binding sites for BNIP1 and USE1 (Aoki 2008)
  • physically interact with proteins involved in the cell cycle and apoptosis (Bassett 2008)
  • BNIP1 functions as a component of the STX18 SNARE complex and regulates retrograde transport from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum
