The SLP homology domain (SHD) of this protein has been shown to specifically bind the GTP-bound form of Ras-related protein Rab-27A (RAB27A). This protein plays a role in RAB27A-dependent vesicle trafficking and controls melanosome distribution in the cell periphery. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":54843,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/54843","proteins":[{"symbol":"SYTL2_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/SYTL2_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"C2 domain containing","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/C2+domain+containing"},{"name":"Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunits (PPP1R)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Protein+phosphatase+1+regulatory+subunits+%28PPP1R%29"}]}
