Gene:
synaptotagmin I
Gene ID:
206885
Symbol:
SYT1
Species:
1000
Description:
The synaptotagmins are integral membrane proteins of synaptic vesicles thought to serve as Ca(2+) sensors in the process of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis. Calcium binding to synaptotagmin I participates in triggering neurotransmitter release at the synapse (Fernandez-Chacon et al., 2001).[supplied by OMIM]
