Primary Identifier | MGI:1351334 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 27204 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle clustering. Located in postsynaptic density and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; respiratory system; and skeletal muscle. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. Orthologous to human SYN3 (synapsin III). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display altered neurotransmitter release, reduced synaptic depression, and a specific delay in early axon outgrowth in cultured hippocampal neurons.
