Primary Identifier | MGI:1859545 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 54525 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables SNARE binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion regulated lysosome exocytosis; regulation of secretion by cell; and synaptic vesicle cycle. Acts upstream of or within plasma membrane repair. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; neuronal cell body; and presynaptic membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SYT7 (synaptotagmin 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have no gross abnormalities or obvious neurological defects. They do develop fibrosis in the skin and skeletal muscle over time.
