Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GTP-dependent protein binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of defense response to bacterium; regulation of synaptic plasticity; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission; innervation; and neuromuscular junction development. Located in several cellular components, including early phagosome; presynaptic active zone; and ribbon synapse. Is active in calyx of Held; glutamatergic synapse; and hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human UNC13B (unc-13 homolog B).
