DESCRIPTION

Also known as SEPT8_HUMAN, SEPTIN8, KIAA0202, SEPT8. Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in platelet secretion (PubMed:15116257). Seems to participate in the process of SNARE complex formation in synaptic vesicles (By similarity)., Stabilizes BACE1 protein levels and promotes the sorting and accumulation of BACE1 to the recycling or endosomal compartments, modulating the beta-amyloidogenic processing of APP. Septins polymerize into heterooligomeric protein complexes that form filaments, and can associate with cellular membranes, actin filaments and microtubules. GTPase activity is required for filament formation (By similarity). Interacts with CDK14 (PubMed:12098780). Interacts with SEPTIN5 (PubMed:12909369). Interacts with SEPTIN7 (By similarity). Interacts with SEPTIN4 (PubMed:15116257). Interacts with VAMP2; the interaction inhibits interaction of VAMP2 with SYP (By similarity). Interacts with STX1A (By similarity).
