Syntaxins, a family of proteins involved in the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, display broad tissue distribution and contain C-terminal hydrophobic domains that direct them to their respective intracellular compartments. Syntaxin 12, also known as STX12, STX13 or STX14, is a 276 amino acid single-pass membrane protein that contains one t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain and belongs to the Syntaxin family. Syntaxin 12 regulates protein transport between late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network and interacts with ABC1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1), a protein that facilitates cellular release of choline-phospholipids and cholesterol to apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I). Found in recycling endosomes, Syntaxin 12 colocalizes with transferrin receptor and is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 1.
