SYNGR2 synaptogyrin 2

Gene ID: 9144, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein containing four transmembrane regions and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail that is tyrosine phosphorylated. The exact function of this protein is unclear, but studies of a similar rat protein suggest that it may play a role in regulating membrane traffic in non-neuronal cells. The gene belongs to the synaptogyrin gene family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
