SYTL5 Antibody

SYTL5 belongs to the synaptotagmin-like (Slp) protein family, which contains a unique Slp homolog domain (SHD) at the N-terminus. The SHD functions as a binding site for Rab27A, which plays a role in protein transport. Expression of SYTL5 is restricted to placenta and liver, suggesting that it might be involved in Rab27A-dependent membrane trafficking in specific tissues. Several members of the synaptotagmin family are calcium-sensing vesicle-fusion proteins as mediators of cell migration. SYTL7 & SYTL5 were positive regulators of chemotaxis, whereas SYTL2 was a negative regulator of chemotaxis.
