Syp Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables SH2 domain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; regulation of short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; and regulation of synaptic vesicle priming. Located in several cellular components, including neuromuscular junction; presynaptic membrane; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and presynaptic active zone. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeletal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 96. Orthologous to human SYP (synaptophysin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Syp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
