Full name: sorting nexin family member 21

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C20orf161; PP3993; SNX-L; SNXL; dJ337O18.4

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. The specific function of this protein has not been determined. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
