Rims1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables transmembrane transporter binding activity. A structural constituent of presynaptic active zone. Involved in several processes, including neurotransmitter secretion; regulation of calcium-dependent activation of synaptic vesicle fusion; and regulation of nervous system process. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion-regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitter; regulation of long-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; and regulation of membrane potential. Located in inhibitory synapse; postsynaptic density; and vesicle. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Is extrinsic component of presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in brain and cerebellum. Orthologous to human RIMS1 (regulating synaptic membrane exocytosis 1).

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 Rims1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
