UniProt Protein Function: | CADPS2: Calcium-binding protein involved in exocytosis of vesicles filled with neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Probably acts upstream of fusion in the biogenesis or maintenance of mature secretory vesicles. Regulates neurotrophin release from granule cells leading to regulate cell differentiation and survival during cerebellar development. May specifically mediate the Ca(2+)- dependent exocytosis of large dense-core vesicles (DCVs) and other dense-core vesicles. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q31.3 Cellular Component: presynaptic membrane; postsynaptic membrane; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; cell junction Molecular Function:metal ion binding; lipid binding Biological Process: protein transport; cellular response to starvation; synaptic vesicle priming; positive regulation of exocytosis |
NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the calcium-dependent activator of secretion (CAPS) protein family, which are calcium binding proteins that regulate the exocytosis of synaptic and dense-core vesicles in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. Mutations in this gene may contribute to autism susceptibility. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009] |
