Description
Function: Is thought to be involved in the organization of the cytomatrix at the nerve terminals active zone (CAZ) which regulates neurotransmitter release. Seems to act through binding to ERC2/CAST1. Essential in regulated neurotransmitter release from a subset of brain glutamatergic synapses. Involved in the formation of the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapses.Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.Tissue specificity: Exclusively expressed in brain. Also known as: Protein bassoon, BSN, Zinc finger protein 231.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from internal region of human Bassoon conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in rat and mouse.
