SEPTIN8

Septin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEPTIN8 gene (previously SEPT8).

Function

SEPT8 is a member of the highly conserved septin family. Septins are 40- to 60-kD GTPases that assemble as filamentous scaffolds. They are involved in the organization of submembranous structures, in neuronal polarity, and in vesicle trafficking.

Interactions

SEPT8 has been shown to interact with PFTK1 and SEPT5.
