Gene: SNX9
Alternate names for this Gene: SDP1|SH3PX1|SH3PXD3A|WISP
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. The encoded protein does not contain a coiled coil region, like some family members, but does contain a SRC homology domain near its N-terminus. The encoded protein is reported to have a variety of interaction partners, including of adaptor protein 2 , dynamin, tyrosine kinase non-receptor 2, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome-like, and ARP3 actin-related protein 3. The encoded protein is implicated in several stages of intracellular trafficking, including endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and F-actin nucleation.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q25.3
Description of this Gene: sorting nexin 9
Type of Gene: protein-coding
