Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Is thought to be involved in the organization of the cytomatrix at the nerve terminals active zone (CAZ) which regulates neurotransmitter release. Seems to act through binding to ERC2/CAST1. Essential in regulated neurotransmitter release from a subset of brain glutamatergic synapses. Involved in the formation of the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapses (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Localized to the active zone of presynaptic density. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Exclusively expressed in brain. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9806829}.
