background:
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.
Function:
Promotes motor nerve regeneration (By similarity). May be involved in intracellular vesicle traffic.
Subunit:
Binds to the SLCterminal coiled coil region of syntaxin family members STX1A, STX3A and STX4A. Has a preference for STX1A.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in skeletal muscle.
Similarity:
Belongs to the taxilin family.
