Synaptogyrin-2 (SYNGR2)

The protein contains 224 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 24810 Da.

 

May play a role in regulated exocytosis. In neuronal cells, modulates the localization of synaptophysin/SYP into synaptic-like microvesicles and may therefore play a role in the formation and/or the maturation of this vesicles. May also play a role in GLUT4 storage and transport to the plasma membrane.', '(Microbial infection) May play a role in the assembly of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies required for SFTS phlebovirus replication.

Cellugyrin

DESCRIPTION

Synaptic vesicles represent specialized secretory organelles that store neurotransmitters in nerve terminals, and release them by fusing with the presynaptic plasma membrane during exocytosis. Synaptogyrin (SYNGR1; 603925) and synaptophysins I (see 313475) and II (synaptoporin) contain 4 transmembrane regions with cytoplasmic C and N termini, and are among the most abundant synaptic vesicle proteins.

CLONING

Janz and Sudhof (1998) identified a rat gene encoding cellugyrin, a protein related to synaptogyrin. Western blot analysis revealed that cellugyrin and synaptogyrin are expressed in mirror-image patterns in rat tissues: cellugyrin is ubiquitous with the lowest levels in brain, while synaptogyrin is detectable only in the brain. Subcellular fractionation of rat brain cells indicated that both synaptogyrin and cellugyrin are associated with microsomes; however, only synaptogyrin is found in synaptic vesicles. The authors suggested that synaptogyrin is a specialized version of the ubiquitous cellugyrin, supporting the concept that synaptic vesicles are a simplified and specialized form of a generic trafficking organelle. Independently, Kedra et al. (1998) identified cDNAs encoding the mouse and human homologs of cellugyrin, which they called synaptogyrin- 2 (SYNGR2). Like SYNGR1, the predicted 224-amino acid human SYNGR2 protein contains 4 transmembrane regions. Northern blot analysis revealed that the 1.6-kb SYNGR2 mRNA was expressed at high levels in all tissues tested except brain.

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization and by analysis of mapped clones, Kedra et al. (1998) mapped the SYNGR2 gene to 17qtel and an SYNGR2 pseudogene to 15q11. ... More on the omim web site
