Primary Identifier | MGI:1926368 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 53420 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables SNARE binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in regulation of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis. Located in several cellular components, including dense core granule; neuronal cell body; and proximal neuron projection. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human SYT5 (synaptotagmin 5). PHENOTYPE: About 50% of mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit prenatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
