SYNJ1 synaptojanin 1

Gene ID: 8867, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DEE53; EIEE53; INPP5G; PARK20

Summary

This gene encodes a phosphoinositide phosphatase that regulates levels of membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. As such, expression of this enzyme may affect synaptic transmission and membrane trafficking. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
