Full name: sorting nexin 10

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: OPTB8

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein does not contain a coiled coil region, like some family members. This gene may play a role in regulating endosome homeostasis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Expression: Broad expression in brain (RPKM 20.5), appendix (RPKM 13.4) and 19 other tissues

Gene size: 82522bp

Exon count: 13
