Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the syntaxin family of cellular receptors for transport vesicles which participate in exocytosis in neutrophils.[6] STX3 has an important role in the growth of neurites and serves as a direct target for omega-6 arachidonic acid.[8] Mutations in Syntaxin 3 cause Microvillus inclusion disease.[9]
