Synaptophysin, also known as the major synaptic vesicle protein p38, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYP gene. ==Genomics== The gene is located on the short arm of X chromosome (Xp11.23-p11.22). It is 12,406 bases in length and lies on the Crick (minus) strand. The encoded protein has 313 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight...

Abundant glycoprotein component of synaptic vesicle membranes composed of a 38 kD subunit that spans the membrane 4 times and has both its N- and C-termini located cytoplasmically. Its transmembrane organization and putative quaternary structure resemble the molecular topology of gap junction proteins, connexins.

Type: Term Pronunciation: sin-ap′tō-fīs′in Definitions: 1. An integral membrane glycoprotein found in many types of active neurons; believed to form a hexamer that forms an ion channel and is involved in the uptake of neurotransmitters; synaptophysin is found in the membrane only after stimulation of the neurons. &nb...
