| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Involved in synaptic vesicle priming. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to starvation; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and positive regulation of exocytosis. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; skeleton; and spinal cord. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human CADPS2 (calcium dependent secretion activator 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit defects in cerebellum, Purkinje cell and interneuron morphology, paired-pulse facilitation, and behaviors including emotional behavior, vestibuoocular reflex, circadium and sleep patterns, social investigation and nurturing behavior.
