Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20615 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity. Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; negative regulation of neuron projection development; and regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lysosomal lumen acidification; terminal button organization; and vesicle organization. Located in acrosomal vesicle; cytosol; and manchette. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Is active in microvesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human SNAPIN (SNAP associated protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice die shortly after birth. No obvious brain morphological abnormalities are seen. Calcium-dependent exocytosis in adrenal chromaffin cells is reduced due to a reduced number of secretory vesicles in releasable pools. [provided by MGI curators] |
