SNX17

The PX domain mediates specific binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(P3)). Required for association with endosomes.

The PTB-like F3 module within the FERM-like domain mediates cargo recognition via their NPxY sequences, while the F1 module (Ras-associating) is responsible for interaction with membrane-bound HRAS.

Critical regulator of endosomal recycling of numerous surface proteins, including integrins, signaling receptor and channels (PubMed:15121882, PubMed:15769472). Binds to NPxY sequences in the cytoplasmic tails of target cargos (PubMed:21512128). Associates with retriever and CCC complexes to prevent lysosomal degradation and promote cell surface recycling of numerous cargos such as integrins ITGB1, ITGB5 and their associated alpha subunits (PubMed:22492727, PubMed:28892079). Also required for maintenance of normal cell surface levels of APP and LRP1 (PubMed:16712798, PubMed:19005208). Interacts with membranes containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3P)) (PubMed:16712798).
