    text
  • integral synaptic vesicle (SV) protein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in structural functions as organizing other membrane components or in targeting the vesicles to the plasma membrane
  • involved in membrane apposition and vesicle-trafficking events
  • may be playing a role in fusion and recycling that is regulated by known interactions with the SNARE machinery
  • Ca2+ binding glycoprotein widely found in presynaptic membrane and vesicles
  • critical for regulating neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity, a process thought to be disrupted in schizophrenia
  • is potentially involved specifically in the response to a nocturnal light pulse occurring in the early night
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with VAMP2 (association of VAMP2 with synaptophysin I in the specification of the pathway of synaptic vesicle biogenesis)
  • SEPT8 suppresses the interaction between VAMP2 and synaptophysin (SYP) through binding to VAMP2

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice lacking Syp, a modulator of neurotransmitter release, are defective in delaying clock phase
  • from mice 9 months old on, a progressive decrease of the presence of SYP was found under Inner hair cells and outer (OHCs) hair cells rows starting at the basal coil and reaching the apical coil in the oldest mice
