Function
SEPT8_HUMAN Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in platelet secretion (PubMed:15116257). Seems to participate in the process of SNARE complex formation in synaptic vesicles (By similarity).[UniProtKB:B0BNF1][1] 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.[2]
