{"symbol":"SNX21","synonyms":["SNX-L","PP3993","DJ337O18.4","C20ORF161"],"name":"sorting nexin family member 21","description":"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.
