Note=Could be part of recycling endosomes (PubMed:16870614). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is itself regulated by STX1A (By similarity). Density of transporter molecules on the plasma membrane is also regulated by serotonin (PubMed:17506858). Density of transporter molecules seems to be modulated by ITGAV:ITGB3 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P31652, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60857, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16870614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17506858}.
