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. The 26 kDa protein 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: Cell membrane
Synonyms: SNG4_HUMAN, Synaptogyrin-4, Synaptogyrin4, Synaptogyrin 4, SYNGR4, MGC125805.
Target Information: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein. The gene belongs to the synaptogyrin gene family. Like other members of the family the protein contains four transmembrane regions. The exact function of this protein is unclear. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
