a vescular protein that participates in the regulation of neurotransmitter release - interacts with the cytoskeleton to regulate the number of synaptic vesicles available for release via exocytosis - promotes vesicle reuptake and reserve pool formation upon intense stimulation

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
Syn is strongly expressed in central brain neuropils.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
polyclonal
Syn regulates activity-dependent outgrowth of synaptic boutons at the neuromuscular junction.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Syn is cloned and characterised, a 309 amino acid domain shows 50% identity to the C domain of vertebrate synapsins.
The predicted amino acid sequence of the Syn gene product displays significant homology to the synaptic vesicle associated protein Synapse I from vertebrates.
