Snx2 (NM_026386) Mouse Recombinant Protein

Involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking. Interacts with membranes containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns (3P) ) or phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns (3,5) P2) . Acts in part as component of the retromer membrane-deforming SNX-BAR subcomplex. The SNX-BAR retromer mediates retrograde transport of cargo proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is involved in endosome-to-plasma membrane transport for cargo protein recycling. The SNX-BAR subcomplex functions to deform the donor membrane into a tubular profile called endosome-to-TGN transport carrier (ETC) . Can sense membrane curvature and has in vitro vesicle-to-membrane remodeling activity. Required for retrograde endosome-to-TGN transport of TGN38. Promotes KALRN- and RHOG-dependent but retromer-independent membrane remodeling such as lamellipodium formation; the function is dependent on GEF activity of KALRN (By similarity) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
