Synaptic vesicle membrane docking and fusion is mediated
by SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment
protein receptors) located on the vesicle membrane (v-SNAREs) and
the target membrane (t-SNAREs). The assembled v-SNARE/t-SNARE
complex consists of a bundle of four helices, one of which is
supplied by v-SNARE and the other three by t-SNARE. For t-SNAREs on
the plasma membrane, the protein syntaxin supplies one helix and
the protein encoded by this gene contributes the other two.
Therefore, this gene product is a presynaptic plasma membrane
protein involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. Two
alternative transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms
have been described for this gene.1) Shimada, M., et al. Hum. Genet. 128(4):433-441(2010)
