Recombinant Human Calcium-dependent secretion activator 2 (CADPS2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q86UW7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CADPS2

Target Full Name

Calcium-dependent secretion activator 2

Target Function

Calcium-binding protein involved in exocytosis of vesicles filled with neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Probably acts upstream of fusion in the biogenesis or maintenance of mature secretory vesicles. Regulates neurotrophin release from granule cells leading to regulate cell differentiation and survival during cerebellar development. May specifically mediate the Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of large dense-core vesicles (DCVs) and other dense-core vesicles.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, synapse. Note=Membrane-associated to vesicles. Strongly enriched in synaptic fractions. Probably localizes to different vesicles compared to CADPS. Enriched on vesicular structures in the parallel fiber terminal of granule cells that are distinct from synaptic vesicles.

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in all adult and fetal tissues examined, with the strongest expression in kidney and pancreas. In brain, it is expressed at high levels in cerebellum, to a lesser degree in cerebral cortex, occipital pole, and frontal and tempo
