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 several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Part of SNARE complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; intercostal muscle; nerve; and reproductive system. 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, Apr 2022]

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.
