SYT7

Synaptotagmin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYT7 gene.[1][2]

Function

Synaptotagmins, such as SYT7, are brain-specific calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that play a role in synaptic exocytosis and neurotransmitter release. See MIM 600782.[supplied by OMIM][2]

Interactions

SYT7 has been shown to interact with SYNCRIP.[3]
