UniProt functional annotation for P61765

UniProt code: P61765.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: Participates in the regulation of synaptic vesicle docking and fusion through interaction with GTP-binding proteins (PubMed:21689256). Essential for neurotransmission and binds syntaxin, a component of the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery probably in a 1:1 ratio. Can interact with syntaxins 1, 2, and 3 but not syntaxin 4. May play a role in determining the specificity of intracellular fusion reactions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21689256}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with SYTL4 (PubMed:12058058). Interacts with STX1A (PubMed:10746715). Interacts with alpha-synuclein/SNCA; this interaction controls SNCA self-replicating aggregation (By similarity). Interacts with RAB3A; this interaction promotes RAB3A dissociation from the vesicle membrane (PubMed:21689256). Interacts with CABP5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61763, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10746715, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12058058, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21689256}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61764}. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Brain and spinal cord. Highly enriched in axons.
Developmental stage: Faint levels are detectable at embryonic day 14, with levels rising at later embryonic ages and peaking at postnatal day 7.
Similarity: Belongs to the STXBP/unc-18/SEC1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
