| | Nectin1 | Nectin-1; Involved in cell adhesion and synaptogegesis. Has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity. Receptor for alphaherpesvirus (HSV-1, HSV-2 and pseudorabies virus) entry into cells. Belongs to the nectin family. (515 aa) |
| | Lpar2 | Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2; Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mediator of diverse cellular activities. Seems to be coupled to the G(i)/G(o), G(12)/G(13), and G(q) families of heteromeric G proteins. Plays a key role in phospholipase C-beta (PLC-beta) signaling pathway Stimulates phospholipase C (PLC) activity in a manner that is independent of RALA activation (By similarity). (348 aa) |
| | Gpm6a | Neuronal membrane glycoprotein M6-a; Involved in neuronal differentiation, including differentiation and migration of neuronal stem cells. Plays a role in neuronal plasticity and is involved in neurite and filopodia outgrowth, filopodia motility and probably synapse formation. Gpm6a-induced filopodia formation involves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Src signaling pathways. Conflictingly, reports that induced cellular protrusions are simple membrane-wrapped tubules without actin or tubulin-based cytoskeletons and with Gpm6a gliding along membrane edges indicative for a func [...] (278 aa) |
| | Stx4a | Syntaxin-4; Plasma membrane t-SNARE that mediates docking of transport vesicles. Necessary for the translocation of SLC2A4 from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane. Together with STXB3 and VAMP2, may also play a role in docking/fusion of intracellular GLUT4-containing vesicles with the cell surface in adipocytes and in docking of synaptic vesicles at presynaptic active zones; Belongs to the syntaxin family. (298 aa) |
| | Stx2 | Syntaxin-2; Essential for epithelial morphogenesis. May mediate Ca(2+)- regulation of exocytosis acrosomal reaction in sperm. (289 aa) |
| | Tprgl | Tumor protein p63-regulated gene 1-like protein; Presynaptic protein involved in the synaptic transmission tuning. Regulates synaptic release probability by decreasing the calcium sensitivity of release; Belongs to the TPRG1 family. (266 aa) |
| | Pclo | Protein piccolo; Scaffold protein of the presynaptic cytomatrix at the active zone (CAZ) which is the place in the synapse where neurotransmitter is released. After synthesis, participates in the formation of Golgi-derived membranous organelles termed Piccolo-Bassoon transport vesicles (PTVs) that are transported along axons to sites of nascent synaptic contacts (By similarity). At the presynaptic active zone, regulates the spatial organization of synaptic vesicle cluster, the protein complexes that execute membrane fusion and compensatory endocytosis (By similarity). Organizes as well [...] (5068 aa) |
| | Unc13a | Protein unc-13 homolog A; Plays a role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis as a target of the diacylglycerol second messenger pathway. Involved in neurotransmitter release by acting in synaptic vesicle priming prior to vesicle fusion and participates in the activity-dependent refilling of readily releasable vesicle pool (RRP). Essential for synaptic vesicle maturation in most excitatory/glutamatergic but not inhibitory/GABA- mediated synapses. Facilitates neuronal dense core vesicles fusion as well as controls the location and efficiency of their synaptic release. Also involved in [...] (1712 aa) |
| | Pnisr | Arginine/serine-rich protein PNISR; Belongs to the splicing factor SR family. (814 aa) |
| | Slc32a1 | Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter; Involved in the uptake of GABA and glycine into the synaptic vesicles. (525 aa) |
| | P2ry2 | P2Y purinoceptor 2; Receptor for ATP and UTP coupled to G-proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The affinity range is UTP = ATP > ATP-gamma-S >> 2-methylthio-ATP = ADP. (373 aa) |
| | Sv2a | Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A; Plays a role in the control of regulated secretion in neural and endocrine cells, enhancing selectively low-frequency neurotransmission. Positively regulates vesicle fusion by maintaining the readily releasable pool of secretory vesicles. (Microbial infection) Possible receptor for C.botulinum neurotoxin type D (BoNT/D, botD); BoNT/D does not bind to extracellular loop 4 as do BoNT/A and BoNT/E. Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. (742 aa) |
| | Lrfn3 | Leucine-rich repeat and fibronectin type-III domain-containing protein 3; Cell adhesion molecule that mediates homophilic cell-cell adhesion in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. Promotes neurite outgrowth in hippocampal neurons. (626 aa) |
