RAPSN - receptor associated protein of the synapse Gene
Also Known as FADS; CMS11; CMS4C; FADS2; RAPSYN; RNF205
Species: Homo sapiens
About RAPSN
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 1.3), prostate (RPKM 0.9) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that are receptor associated proteins of the synapse. The encoded protein contains a conserved cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, and plays a critical role in clustering and anchoring nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at synaptic sites by linking the receptors to the underlying postsynaptic Cytoskeleton, possibly by direct association with actin or spectrin. Mutations in this gene may play a role in postsynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
