SYT6 - synaptotagmin 6 Gene
Also Known as sytVI
Species: Homo sapiens
About SYT6
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 229 orthologues and 31 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.6), kidney (RPKM 0.8) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the synaptotagmin family. Synaptotagmins share a common domain structure that includes a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic region composed of 2 C2 domains, and are involved in calcium-dependent exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. This protein has been shown to be a key component of the secretory machinery involved in acrosomal exocytosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
