Recombinant Human Synapsin-1 (SYN1)

Uniprot Id

P17600

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SYN1

Target Full Name

Synapsin-1

Target Function

Neuronal phosphoprotein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to the cytoskeleton, and is believed to function in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. The complex formed with NOS1 and CAPON proteins is necessary for specific nitric-oxid functions at a presynaptic level.

Target Involvement

Epilepsy X-linked, with variable learning disabilities and behavior disorders (XELBD)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell junction, synapse. Golgi apparatus.

Target Protein Families

Synapsin family

Target Research Area

Neuroscience

Target Synonyms

Brain protein 4.1; SYN 1; SYN 1a; SYN 1b; SYN I; SYN1; SYN1_HUMAN; SYN1a; SYN1b; Synapsin 1; Synapsin I; Synapsin-1; Synapsin1; SynapsinI; SYNI

Target Background

This gene is a member of the synapsin gene family. Synapsins encode neuronal phosphoproteins which associate with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles. Family members are characterized by common protein domains, and they are implicated in synaptogenesis and the modulation of neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential role in several neuropsychiatric diseases. This member of the synapsin family plays a role in regulation of axonogenesis and synaptogenesis. The protein encoded serves as a substrate for several different protein kinases and phosphorylation may function in the regulation of this protein in the nerve terminal. Mutations in this gene may be associated with X-linked disorders with primary neuronal degeneration such as Rett syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
