Syt7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables SNARE binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion regulated lysosome exocytosis; regulation of secretion by cell; and synaptic vesicle cycle. Acts upstream of or within plasma membrane repair. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; neuronal cell body; and presynaptic membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SYT7 (synaptotagmin 7).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Syt7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
