| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Expressed in all adult and fetal tissues examined, with the strongest expression in kidney and pancreas. In brain, it is expressed at high levels in cerebellum, to a lesser degree in cerebral cortex, occipital pole, and frontal and temporal lobes. Only weakly expressed in medulla, spinal cord and putamen. |
| Function | Calcium-binding protein involved in exocytosis of vesicles filled with neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Probably acts upstream of fusion in the biogenesis or maintenance of mature secretory vesicles. Regulates neurotrophin release from granule cells leading to regulate cell differentiation and survival during cerebellar development. May specifically mediate the Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of large dense-core vesicles (DCVs) and other dense-core vesicles. |
