Gene: SYNGR2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein containing four transmembrane regions and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail that is tyrosine phosphorylated. The exact function of this protein is unclear, but studies of a similar rat protein suggest that it may play a role in regulating membrane traffic in non-neuronal cells. The gene belongs to the synaptogyrin gene family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.3

Description of this Gene: synaptogyrin 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
