Cplx4 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity. Predicted to be involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion to presynaptic active zone membrane; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in terminal bouton. Orthologous to human CPLX4 (complexin 4). [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 rat Cplx4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
