disease:A chromosomal aberration disrupting SNX3 may be a cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 8 (MCOPS8) [MIM:601349]. Translocation t(6;13)(q21;q12). Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities. MCOPS8 is a very rare congenital syndrome characterized by microcephaly, microphthalmia, ectrodactyly of the lower limbs and prognathism. Intellectual deficit has been reported.,function:May be involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking.,similarity:Belongs to the sorting nexin family.,similarity:Contains 1 PX (phox homology) domain.,
Early endosome . Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome . Colocalizes to clathrin-coated endosomal vesicles morphologically distinct from retromer-decorated non-branched endosomal tubule structures (PubMed:21725319) Colocalizes with EEA1 on nascent phagosomes in dendritic cells but competes with EEA1 for binding to phagosomal membrane (PubMed:23237080). In the case of Salmonella enterica infection localizes to Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs) from which SNX3-containing tubules form 30-60 min after infection (PubMed:20482551). .
