QuickView for synaptophysin (gene)

Gene Symbol:

SYP Homo sapiens

Full name:

synaptophysin

Synonyms:

MRX96, MRXSYP, synaptophysin, major synaptic vesicle protein P38

Genomic Location:

Chr X: 48931209-48943605

Description:

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles in brain and endocrine cells. The protein also binds cholesterol and is thought to direct targeting of vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (synaptobrevin) to intracellular compartments. Mutations in this gene are associated with an X-linked form of cognitive disability.
