SYNGAP1 Gene

HGNC Family C2 domain containing
Name synaptic Ras GTPase activating protein 1
Description This gene encodes a Ras GTPase activating protein that is a member of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex. The N-terminal domain of the protein contains a Ras-GAP domain, a pleckstrin homology domain, and a C2 domain that may be involved in binding of calcium and phospholipids. The C-terminal domain consists of a ten histidine repeat region, serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites, and a T/SXV motif required for postsynaptic scaffold protein interaction. The encoded protein negatively regulates Ras, Rap and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor trafficking to the postsynaptic membrane to regulate synaptic plasticity and neuronal homeostasis. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nSYNGAP1 is a brain‐specific synaptic GTPase‐activating protein that modulates both Ras and Rap signaling cascades at excitatory postsynaptic densities. Its intrinsic catalytic activity is finely tuned by phosphorylation events mediated by kinases such as CaMKII, CDK5 and Rho‐kinase.
