Syntaxin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX8 gene.
Syntaxin 8 directly interacts with HECTd3 and has similar subcellular localization. The protein has been shown to form the SNARE complex with syntaxin 7, vti1b and endobrevin. These function as the machinery for the homotypic fusion of late endosomes.
Interactions
STX8 has been shown to interact with Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, VTI1B and STX7.
