Synapsin 3 (Syn3) belongs to the synapsin family of neuronal phosphoproteins, vesicle-associated proteins that includes two additional members: Synapsin I and Synapsin II. Alternative splicing of the genes results in at least ten variants with various levels of homology.
Synapsins are involved in synaptogenesis, synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity and are required for the formation and maintenance of the reserve and recycling pools of synaptic vesicles through association with the actin cytoskeleton. Several protein kinases, including PKA, calcium-calmodulin regulated protein kinases and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) use synapsins as their substrates1-4.
Syn3 plays an important role in several disorders, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and epilepsy1.
