Gene: SYTL5

Alternate names for this Gene: slp5

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the synaptotagmin-like (Slp) protein family, which contains a unique homology domain at the N-terminus, referred to as the Slp homology domain (SHD). The SHD functions as a binding site for Rab27A, which plays a role in protein transport. Expression of this gene is restricted to placenta and liver, suggesting that it might be involved in Rab27A-dependent membrane trafficking in specific tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: X

Location in Chromosome : Xp11.4

Description of this Gene: synaptotagmin like 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
