Description

synaptotagmin 1

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of the synaptotagmin protein family. The synaptotagmins are integral membrane proteins of synaptic vesicles that serve as calcium sensors in the process of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis. The encoded protein participates in triggering neurotransmitter release at the synapse in response to calcium binding. Mutations in this gene are associated with Baker-Gordon syndrome.
