Contents
Function
This gene is a member of the synaptotagmin gene family and encodes a protein similar to other family members that mediate membrane trafficking in synaptic transmission. The encoded protein is a calcium-independent synaptotagmin.
Clinical relevance
Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia with psychomotor retardation.
