Syt17 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity; calcium ion sensor activity; and calcium-dependent phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of dendrite extension; regulation of vesicle-mediated transport; and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including exocytic vesicle; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Orthologous to human SYT17 (synaptotagmin 17).

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 Syt17 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- leucine zipper domain
- protein binding
- Protein kinase C conserved region 2 (CalB)
- C2 domain
