Known Synaptotagmin Isoforms, Dysfunctions, and Clinical Mutations. Known synaptotagmin isoforms of clinical and functional relevance related to SYT1-associated neurodevelopmental disorder, including their noted neurotransmitter mechanism of release and related molecular dysfunction.

Isoform Location NT Mechanism of Release Molecular Dysfunction Clinical Symptoms of Mutation
SYT1 Synaptic vesicles and secretory granules of neuroendocrine of the hippocampus and forebrain Independent fast synchronous NT release, clamping mini spontaneous release Decreased evoked transmission Developmental delay, sleep disturbances, EEG abnormalities, abnormal motor function, abnormal eye physiology
SYT2 Inhibitory neurons of the brainstem, spinal cord, cerebellum, and striatal neurons, neuromuscular junction Evoked fast synchronous NT release Impaired NT vesicle release Moderate to severe motor deficits, muscle weakness, bulbar deficits, delayed motor development
SYT7 Hippocampus SV priming and clamping, slow asynchronous NT release Decrease RRP when KO alongside SYT1, Mania, behavioral disturbances, bipolar-like behavior (in mice)
SYT9 Dense core vesicles and synaptic vesicles in limbic system and striatum, cortical and hippocampal neurons Evoked fast synchronous NT release Decrease in spontaneous miniature rate of synaptic vesicle fusion, inability to initiate membrane fusion Not Available
