Structural highlights
Disease
[SNX3_HUMAN] MMEP syndrome. The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. A chromosomal aberration involving SNX3 has been found in patients with syndromic microphthalmia. Translocation t(6;13)(q21;q12).
Function
[SNX3_HUMAN] Phosphoinositide-binding protein required for multivesicular body formation. Specifically binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(P3)). Plays a role in protein transport between cellular compartments. Promotes stability and cell surface expression of epithelial sodium channel (ENAC) subunits SCNN1A and SCNN1G (By similarity). Not involved in EGFR degradation.[1] [2]
