| UniProt functional annotation for O00445 | |||
| UniProt code: O00445. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | May be involved in Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of secretory vesicles through Ca(2+) and phospholipid binding to the C2 domain or may serve as Ca(2+) sensors in the process of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis. Regulates the Ca(2+)-dependent secretion of norepinephrine in PC12 cells. Required for export from the endocytic recycling compartment to the cell surface (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00041, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793683}; Note=Binds 3 Ca(2+) ions per subunit. The ions are bound to the C2 domains. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15057824}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with both alpha- and beta-tubulin (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P47861}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Recycling endosome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=In mast cells, localizes to the endocytic recycling compartment. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the synaptotagmin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
