About Snca

Chromosome 6: 60,708,559-60,806,839 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000999.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 189 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 28 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver E14 (RPKM 144.4), liver E14.5 (RPKM 119.8) and 1 other tissues.

Summary

Enables arachidonic acid binding activity; histone binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; protein-containing complex assembly; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of amine transport. Located in several cellular components, including inclusion body; neuronal cell body; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; retina; and spleen. Used to study Parkinson's disease 1 and Parkinson's disease 4. 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]
