SYT2 synaptotagmin 2

Gene ID: 127833, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CMS7; CMS7A; CMS7B; MYSPC; SytII

Summary

This gene encodes a synaptic vesicle membrane protein. The encoded protein is thought to function as a calcium sensor in vesicular trafficking and exocytosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with myasthenic syndrome, presynaptic, congenital, with or without motor neuropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
