Beta-taxilin promotes nerve regeneration and may be involved in intracellular vesicle transport. Expressed predominantly in cardiac and skeletal muscle, beta-taxilin binds to the coiled coil region of the syntaxin family members STX1A, STX3A, and STX4A. Beta- and gamma-taxilins, bind to the alpha subunit of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC) and affect its nuclear distribution, suggesting that the taxilin family is involved not only in the translational process through its interaction with NAC but also in the transcriptional process through its interaction with alphaNAC alone.
