SNX6 antibody targets Sorting nexin 6 (SNX6), a cytoplasmic adaptor protein that functions in endosomal trafficking and membrane protein sorting. SNX6 is a member of the sorting nexin family, which is characterized by the presence of a phox homology domain that binds phosphoinositide-enriched membranes. Through this domain, SNX6 associates with early and recycling endosomes, where it contributes to the regulation of cargo transport between endosomes, the trans-Golgi network, and the plasma membrane. SNX6 localizes primarily to the cytoplasm with enrichment on endosomal membranes, reflecting its role in intracellular trafficking pathways.
Functionally, SNX6 participates in the retromer-dependent transport system that retrieves selected transmembrane proteins from endosomes and directs them back to the Golgi or to other intracellular destinations. By interacting with other sorting nexins and core retromer components, SNX6 helps coordinate cargo recognition and vesicle formation. These trafficking events are essential for maintaining proper receptor recycling, signal termination, and membrane composition. An SNX6 antibody supports studies examining endosomal sorting mechanisms and membrane trafficking regulation.
SNX6 expression is broadly observed across tissues, consistent with the universal requirement for regulated intracellular transport in eukaryotic cells. Altered SNX6 function can disrupt receptor localization and signaling dynamics, leading to changes in cellular responsiveness to growth factors and environmental cues. SNX6 has also been implicated in the trafficking of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and cell surface receptor turnover, highlighting its contribution to cellular homeostasis and signaling balance.
From a biological and disease-relevance perspective, sorting nexins are widely studied for their roles in neurobiology, cancer, and metabolic disease, where defects in membrane trafficking contribute to pathogenesis. SNX6-dependent pathways influence the spatial and temporal control of signaling receptors, which can impact cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Understanding SNX6 expression and regulation provides insight into how endosomal transport systems shape cellular behavior under physiological and stress conditions.
At the molecular level, SNX6 is encoded by the SNX6 gene and produces a protein of approximately 400 amino acids. In addition to its phox homology domain, SNX6 contains regions that mediate protein-protein interactions required for assembly of trafficking complexes. Regulation of SNX6 activity depends on membrane lipid composition, adaptor binding, and cellular trafficking demands. An SNX6 antibody supports research applications focused on endosomal transport, receptor recycling, and intracellular membrane dynamics, with NSJ Bioreagents providing reagents intended for research use.
Optimal dilution of the SNX6 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids M1-T406 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the SNX6 antibody.
After reconstitution, the SNX6 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
