Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables SNARE binding activity and neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in insulin secretion; regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion to presynaptic active zone membrane; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Located in cytosol; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is active in photoreceptor ribbon synapse; presynaptic active zone membrane; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; and cortical layer V. Orthologous to human CPLX3 (complexin 3).
