Background
This gene is a member of the synaptotagmin gene family and encodes a protein similar to other family members that mediate calcium-dependent regulation of membrane trafficking in synaptic transmission. A similar protein in rodents mediates hormone secretion and lysosome exocytosis. In humans, expression of this gene has been associated with prostate cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011],
Function
cofactor:Binds 3 calcium ions per subunit. The ions are bound to the C2 domains.,domain:The second C2 domain/C2B is responsible for SYNCRIP binding.,function:May be involved in Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of secretory vesicles through Ca(2+) and phospholipid binding to the C2 domain or may serve as Ca(2+) sensors in the process of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis.,similarity:Belongs to the synaptotagmin family.,similarity:Contains 2 C2 domains.,subunit:Interacts with SYNCRIP isoform 3 C-terminus.,tissue specificity:Expressed abundantly in brain (frontal and temporal lobes, hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala, substantia nigra, and pituitary), kidney, and prostate. Expressed in fetal brain, kidneys and lung.,tissue specificity:Expressed in a variety of adult and fetal tissues.,
