Syntaxins, a family of proteins involved in the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, display broad tissue distribution and contain carboxy-terminal hydrophobic domains that direct themselves to their respective intracellular compartments. Synaptin 6 is a 255 amino acid protein that is widely expressed, with higher expression levels in brain, lung and kidney. This synaptin co-localizes with vesicle associated membrane protein (VAMP) 4 to tubular and vesicular membranes of the Golgi apparatus. The cytosolic domain of Syntaxin 6 reduces the rate on Glut4 reinternalization upon insulin withdrawl and is involved in a memrane-trafficking process that removes Glut4 from traffic directed to the plasma membrane. Syntaxin 6 is upregulated in activated macrophages in conjunction with an increase in the secretion of cytokines. The delivery of microdomain-associated lipids and proteins to the cell surface is regulated by Syntaxin 6.
