    Summary
    Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in calcium-ion regulated exocytosis and synaptic vesicle clustering. Acts upstream of or within neurotransmitter secretion. Located in plasma membrane; postsynaptic density; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Part of SNARE complex. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; intercostal muscle; and nerve. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human SYN2 (synapsin II). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (IIb) lacks two exons and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site that is used in variant IIa. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant IIa. It encodes isoform IIb which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform IIa.
