About BSN
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 274 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 13.0), testis (RPKM 2.3) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
Neurotransmitters are released from a specific site in the axon terminal called the active zone, which is composed of synaptic vesicles and a meshwork of Cytoskeleton underlying the plasma membrane. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a scaffolding protein involved in organizing the presynaptic Cytoskeleton. The gene is expressed primarily in neurons in the brain. A similar gene product in rodents is concentrated in the active zone of axon terminals and tightly associated with cytoskeletal structures, and is essential for regulating neurotransmitter release from a subset of synapses.
