    Summary
    Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to carbon dioxide; egg-laying behavior; and signal release. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dense core granule; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; excretory gland cell; nervous system; postcloacal sensillum; and rectal gland cell. Orthologous to several human genes including CADPS2 (calcium dependent secretion activator 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    1. Four UNC-31 domains support distinct sequential molecular actions of UNC-31 in vesicular exocytosis, including steps in vesicle tethering and docking that bridge vesicle with plasma membrane.
      Title: UNC-31/CAPS docks and primes dense core vesicles in C. elegans neurons.
    2. CAPS function in dense core vesicle docking parallels UNC-13 in synaptic vesicle docking, which suggests that these related proteins act similarly to promote docking of independent vesicle populations.
      Title: CAPS and syntaxin dock dense core vesicles to the plasma membrane in neurons.
    3. UNC-31 is required for the docking of DCVs at the plasma membrane. Interestingly, the defect in DCV docking caused by UNC-31 mutation can be fully rescued by PKA activation.
      Title: PKA activation bypasses the requirement for UNC-31 in the docking of dense core vesicles from C. elegans neurons.
    4. Calcium activated protein for secretion (CAPS)/UNC-31 and UNC-13 serve parallel and dedicated roles in dense-core vesicle and synaptic vesicle exocytosis, respectively, in the C. elegans nervous system.
      Title: UNC-31 (CAPS) is required for dense-core vesicle but not synaptic vesicle exocytosis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
