    text
  • resides in nuclei of myocytes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • adapter protein playing an important role in synapse formation and in the organization of UTRN and acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular synapse
  • playing an important role in maintaining receptor stability by directly interacting with the receptor PDZ-interacting motif
  • central organizer of the astrocyte dystrophin complex, an important molecular scaffold for localization of aquaporin-4 at the blood-brain barrier
  • actin-binding protein the subcellular localization of which is regulated through cytoskeletal reorganization
  • scaffolding protein linking signaling proteins to the sarcolemmal dystrophin complex(
  • adaptor protein that link intracellular signaling molecules to the dystrophin based scaffold
  • is required for HGF-induced migration of myoblasts and for proper PI3-kinase/AKT signaling
  • SNTA1 which resides in nuclei of myocytes, functions as the upstream mediator of nuclear NOS1 translocation and NOS1-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • member of the dystrophin-associated protein complex
  • SNTA1-based NOS1 complex attached to SCN5A is a key regulator of sodium current
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • protein binding to nitric oxide synthase
  • GLS2
  • interaction with PMCA1 and PMCA4
  • links neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) to the NOS1 inhibitor plasma membrane Ca-ATPase subtype 4b (ATP2B4b)
  • associate with the cardiac sodium channel SCN5A
  • SNTA1 associates with MLL5, a regulator of MYOG expression
  • MYOC interacts with SNTA1, a cytoplasmic component of the DAPC, that serves as a scaffolding adapter
  • MAP1A and MAP1B interact with SNTA1 in the central and peripheral nervous system
  • SNTA1 and SNTB2 are molecular adaptor proteins shown to stabilize ABCA1, an essential regulator of HDL cholesterol
  • ADRA1D-a key regulator of cardiovascular, urinary and CNS function-binds the syntrophin family of PDZ domain proteins (SNTA1, SNTB1, and SNTB2) through a C-terminal PDZ ligand interaction, ensuring receptor plasma membrane localization and G-protein coupling
