Description
Product Characteristics:
The synaptogyrin family of proteins are integral membrane proteins containing four transmembrane regions. Synaptogyrins are tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins with two neuronal (Synaptogyrins 1 and 3) and one ubiquitous (Synaptogyrin-2) isoform. Synaptophysin and synaptogyrin represent the major constituents of synaptic vesicles. Synaptogyrin-1 is associated with presynaptic vesicles in neuronal cells. Synaptogyrin-2, also known as Cellugyrin has a tyrosine phosphorylated C-terminal cytoplasmic tail, and is involved in the regulation of membrane traffic in non-neuronal cells. Synaptogyrin-3 is expressed mainly in brain and placenta. The SYNGR4 gene encodes for the 234 amino acid protein Synaptogyrin-4.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: SNG3_HUMAN, Synaptogyrin 3, Synaptogyrin-3, Synaptogyrin3, SYNGR 3, SYNGR3, SYNGR-3, MGC:20003, MGC20003, OTTHUMP00000158899.
Target Information: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein. The exact function of this protein is unclear, but studies of a similar murine protein suggest that it is a synaptic vesicle protein that also interacts with the dopamine transporter. The gene product belongs to the synaptogyrin gene family. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
