Sorting nexin-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNX5 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein is a component of the mammalian retromer complex,[2] which facilitates cargo retrieval from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. It has also been shown to bind to the Fanconi anemia, complementation group A protein. This gene results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein.[3]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of SNX5 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Snx5tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[9][10] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[11][12][13]Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[7][14] Twenty five tests were carried out on homozygous mutant adult mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.[7]

Interactions

SNX5 has been shown to interact with FANCA.[1]
