Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of short-term synaptic potentiation; regulation of vesicle fusion; and synaptic vesicle fusion to presynaptic active zone membrane. Located in axon terminus; plasma membrane; and synaptic vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain. Used to study episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in benign familial infantile seizures 2 and episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Orthologous to human PRRT2 (proline rich transmembrane protein 2).
