Function

Positively regulates a late step in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Organizes the SNAREs into a cross-linked zigzag topology that, when interposed between the vesicle and plasma membranes, is incompatible with fusion, thereby preventing SNAREs from releasing neurotransmitters until an action potential arrives at the synapse. Also involved in glucose-induced secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta-cells. Essential for motor behavior. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15126625, ECO:0000269PubMed:16000319}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269PubMed:15126625, ECO:0000269PubMed:7635198}. Note=Enriched at synaptic-releasing sites in mature neurons.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Nervous system, and pancreatic islet cells. Present in many brain regions, including hippocampus and cerebellum. In the retina, present at conventional amacrine cell synapses (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:15126625, ECO:0000269PubMed:15911881, ECO:0000269PubMed:7635198}.
