Snap91 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including SH2 domain binding activity; clathrin adaptor activity; and phospholipase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cellular component organization; positive regulation of synaptic vesicle clustering; and regulation of terminal button organization. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; postsynaptic density; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is extrinsic component of presynaptic endocytic zone membrane. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Orthologous to human SNAP91 (synaptosome associated protein 91). [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 Snap91 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
