Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions
STXBP1 has been shown to interactProtein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...
with STX2
STX2
Syntaxin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX2 gene.-Interactions:STX2 has been shown to interact with SNAP-25, SNAP23, STXBP1 and Syntaxin binding protein 3.-Further reading:...
, STX4
STX4
Syntaxin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX4 gene.-Interactions:STX4 has been shown to interact with SNAP-25, NAPA, STXBP5, SNAP23, Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, RAB4A, TXLNB, VAMP2, VAMP3, STXBP1 and Syntaxin binding protein 3.-Further reading:...
and STX1A
STX1A
Syntaxin-1A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX1A gene.- Function :Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters that are released during calcium-regulated exocytosis. The specificity of neurotransmitter release requires the localization of both synaptic vesicles and calcium channels to...
