Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; regulation of organelle organization; and retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and limb. Orthologous to human STX18 (syntaxin 18).
