SYP132 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G088700 (SYP132) on chromosome 2 of barrel medic encodes a syntaxin protein containing Syntaxin_N and T_SNARE_dom domains, placing it in the SNARE family with SNARE binding molecular function. The gene is associated with vesicle fusion, exocytosis, endocytosis, intracellular protein transport, and defense response, as well as organogenesis. Its product localizes to the SNARE complex, cell plate, endomembrane system, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the SYP132 family to similar membrane trafficking processes, though these associations are not directly established for this gene.
