Primary Identifier | IPR027082 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Unc13A |
description | Protein Unc-13 homologue A plays a role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis as a target of the diacylglycerol second messenger pathway []. It is involved in neurotransmitter release by acting in synaptic vesicle priming prior to vesicle fusion, and participates in the activity-dependent refilling of readily releasable vesicle pool (RRP) [, , ]. It is essential for synaptic vesicle maturation in most excitatory/glutamatergic but not inhibitory/GABA-mediated synapses []. It is also involved in secretory granule priming in insulin secretion [, ]. |
