Syntaxin-8 Protein, Human
Syntaxin-8 is a vesicular transport protein that promotes retrograde transport within the early secretory pathway. It is essential for homotypic fusion of late endosomes, forming a SNARE complex with STX7, VTI1B, and VAMP8. Syntaxin-8 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Syntaxin-8 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Biological Activity
Syntaxin-8 is a vesicular transport protein that promotes retrograde transport within the early secretory pathway. It is essential for homotypic fusion of late endosomes, forming a SNARE complex with STX7, VTI1B, and VAMP8. Syntaxin-8 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Syntaxin-8 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.
Syntaxin-8, a vesicle trafficking protein, operates within the early secretory pathway, potentially facilitating retrograde transport from cis-Golgi membranes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It plays a crucial role in homotypic fusion of late endosomes by forming a SNARE complex with STX7, VTI1B, and VAMP8. As a component of the SNARE core complex containing STX7, VAMP8, and VTI1B, Syntaxin-8 engages in intricate molecular interactions. It interacts with VAMP8, contributing to the coordination of vesicle fusion events. Additionally, Syntaxin-8 interacts with HECTD3 and TPC1, further highlighting its involvement in diverse cellular processes and emphasizing its significance in vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion events.
