Synj1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables phosphatase activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of gliogenesis; positive regulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis; and response to retinoic acid. Located in microtubule and synaptic membrane. Part of clathrin coat of coated pit. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease 20; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 53. Orthologous to human SYNJ1 (synaptojanin 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 rat Synj1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
