Syt1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including calcium ion sensor activity; phospholipid binding activity; and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of calcium ion; positive regulation of dopamine secretion; and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Located in several cellular components, including excitatory synapse; neuron projection terminus; and secretory vesicle. Is active in several cellular components, including hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and presynaptic cytosol. Orthologous to human SYT1 (synaptotagmin 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 Syt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
