The protein encoded by this gene is a syntaxin family membrane receptor involved in vesicle transport. The encoded protein binds alpha-SNAP, an important regulator of transport vesicle fusion. Along with syntaxin 13, this protein plays a role in the ordered fusion of endosomes and lysosomes with the phagosome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016].

Syntaxin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STX7 gene.
In melanocytic cells STX7 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.
