Function
Synaptic vesicle phosphoprotein that enhances spontaneous neurotransmitter release but does not effect induced neurotransmitter release. Unlike other synaptotagmins, it does not bind Ca(2+) or phospholipids. Essential for mossy-fiber long-term potentiation in the hippocampus.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the brain, specifically in neurons of the cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, brainstem and spinal cord (at protein level)
