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 |
