Septin-8
Definition:
Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in platelet secretion. Seems to participate in the process of SNARE complex formation in synaptic vesicles (By similarity).; [Isoform 4]: Stabilizes BACE1 protein levels and promotes the sorting and accumulation of BACE1 to the recycling or endosomal compartments, modulating the beta-amyloidogenic processing of APP.
