Summary: Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and cuprous ion binding activity. Involved in protein secretion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of secretion by cell. Located in axon; cytoplasm; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lewy body dementia. Orthologous to human SNCG (synuclein gamma).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
