Sorting nexin-15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNX15 gene.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. Overexpression of this gene results in a decrease in the processing of insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors to their mature subunits.
