SYT14

Synaptotagmin XIV is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SYT14 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene is a member of the is_associated_with::synaptotagmin gene family and encodes a protein similar to other family members that mediate membrane trafficking in synaptic transmission. The encoded protein is a calcium-independent synaptotagmin.

Clinical relevance
Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive is_associated_with::spinocerebellar ataxia with psychomotor retardation.
