About Snca

Primary_assembly 4: 89,696,420-89,796,262 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026977.1

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 189 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 35 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 542.3), Spleen (RPKM 92.9) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

Enables several functions, including Phospholipase binding activity; protein N-terminus binding activity; and tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to cocaine; negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; and response to desipramine. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; distal axon; and mitochondrion. Used to study Parkinson's disease and amphetamine abuse. Biomarker of mental depression and neurilemmoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease 1; and Parkinson's disease 4. Orthologous to human SNCA (synuclein alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
