Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and cuprous ion binding activity. Involved in protein secretion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of secretion by cell. Located in axon; cytoplasm; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lewy body dementia. Orthologous to human SNCG (synuclein gamma).
