{"symbol":"STX2","synonyms":["EPIM","STX2A","EPM","STX2B","STX2C"],"name":"syntaxin 2","description":"The product of this gene belongs to the syntaxin/epimorphin family of proteins. The syntaxins are a large protein family implicated in the targeting and fusion of intracellular transport vesicles. The product of this gene regulates epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and epithelial cell morphogenesis and activation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
