cla-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium ion binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in maintenance of presynaptic active zone structure; spontaneous synaptic transmission; and synaptic vesicle cycle. Located in presynaptic active zone. Expressed in nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 3. Is an ortholog of human BSN (bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein) and PCLO (piccolo presynaptic cytomatrix protein).
