Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calmodulin binding activity and diacylglycerol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of glutamate receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of synaptic plasticity; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Located in axon; neuromuscular junction; and presynapse. Is active in calyx of Held; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone. Is expressed in nervous system and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Orthologous to human UNC13A (unc-13 homolog A).
