Syt5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium-dependent phospholipid binding activity; clathrin binding activity; and syntaxin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium-dependent activation of synaptic vesicle fusion; regulation of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis; and regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and proximal neuron projection. Predicted to be active in axon; plasma membrane; and secretory vesicle. Orthologous to human SYT5 (synaptotagmin 5). [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 Syt5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
