DESCRIPTION

Also known as SNX6_HUMAN, SNX6. Involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking. Interacts with membranes phosphatidylinositol 3, 4-bisphosphate and/or phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (Probable). Acts in part as component of the retromer membrane-deforming SNX-BAR subcomplex (PubMed:19935774). The SNX-BAR retromer mediates retrograde transport of cargo proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is involved in endosome-to-plasma membrane transport for cargo protein recycling. The SNX-BAR subcomplex functions to deform the donor membrane into a tubular profile called endosome-to-TGN transport carrier (ETC) (Probable). Does not have in vitro vesicle-to-membrane remodeling activity (PubMed:23085988). Involved in retrograde endosome-to-TGN transport of lysosomal enzyme receptor IGF2R (PubMed:17148574). May function as link between transport vesicles and dynactin (Probable). Negatively regulates retrograde transport of BACE1 from the cell surface to the trans-Golgi network (PubMed:20354142). Involved in E-cadherin sorting and degradation; inhibits PIP5K1C isoform 3-mediated E-cadherin degradation (PubMed:24610942). In association with GIT1 involved in EGFR degradation. Promotes lysosomal degradation of CDKN1B (By similarity). May contribute to transcription regulation (Probable). Forms heterodimers with BAR domain-containing sorting nexins SNX1 and SNX2 (PubMed:23085988). The heterodimers are proposed to self-assemble into helical arrays on the membrane to stabilize and expand local membrane curvature underlying endosomal tubule formation. Thought to be a component of the originally described retromer complex (also called SNX-BAR retromer) which is a pentamer containing the heterotrimeric retromer cargo-selective complex (CSC), also described as vacuolar protein sorting subcomplex (VPS), and a heterodimeric membrane-deforming subcomplex formed between SNX1 or SNX2 and SNX5 or SNX6 (also called SNX-BAR subcomplex); the respective CSC and SNX-BAR subcomplexes associate with low affinity (Probable). Interacts with SNX1, SNX2, VPS26A, VPS29, VPS35, CDKN1B, TGFB receptors, BACE1, BRMS1, PIP5K1C isoform 3. Interacts with DCTN1; the association with DCTN1 is involved in movement of retromer-c ontaining vesicles toward the TGN (PubMed:11279102, PubMed:17148574, PubMed:19935774, PubMed:19619496, PubMed:20354142, PubMed:20830743, PubMed:23085988, PubMed:24610942). Interacts with CDKN1B and GIT1 (By similarity). Interacts with PIM1; translocating SNX6 to the nucleus (PubMed:11591366).
