Background | Neuronal protein plays several roles in synaptic activity such as regulation of synaptic vesicle trafficking and subsequent neurotransmitter release. Participates as a monomer in synaptic vesicle exocytosis by enhancing vesicle priming, fusion, and dilation of exocytotic fusion pores. Mechanistically, acts by increasing local Ca2+ release from microdomains which is essential for enhancing ATP-induced exocytosis. It also as a molecular chaperone in its multimeric membrane-bound state, assisting in the folding of synaptic fusion components called SREs (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein REceptors) at the presynaptic plasma membrane in conjunction with cysteine string protein-alpha/DJC5. This chaperone activity is important to sustain normal SRE-complex assembly during aging. It also plays a role in regulating dopamine neurotransmission by associating with the dopamine transporter (DAT1) and thereby modulating its activity. |
