CPLX3
gene geneOn this page
Also known as CPX-III
Summary
CPLX3 (complexin 3, HGNC:27652) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q24.1, encoding Complexin-3 (Q8WVH0). Complexin that regulates SNARE protein complex-mediated synaptic vesicle fusion.
Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity. Predicted to be involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion to presynaptic active zone membrane; and synaptic vesicle tethering involved in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Predicted to be located in cytosol; plasma membrane; and synapse. Predicted to be part of SNARE complex. Predicted to be active in terminal bouton.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
CPLX3 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 15 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 5 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 1)
- CPX acts sequentially on assembling SNAREpins, first facilitating zippering by nearly doubling the distance at which v- and t-SNAREs can engage and then clamping them into a half-zippered fusion-incompetent state. (PMID:21785413)

Function. Complexin that regulates SNARE protein complex-mediated synaptic vesicle fusion. Required for the maintenance of synaptic ultrastructure in the adult retina. Positively regulates synaptic transmission through synaptic vesicle availability and exocytosis of neurotransmitters at photoreceptor ribbon synapses in the retina. Suppresses tonic photoreceptor activity and baseline ’noise’ by suppression of Ca(2+) vesicle tonic release and the facilitation of evoked synchronous and asynchronous Ca(2+) vesicle release.
Subunit / interactions. Binds to the SNARE core complex containing SNAP25, VAMP2 and STX1A.
Subcellular location. Synapse. Cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Farnesylation mediates presynaptic targeting.
Similarity. Belongs to the complexin/synaphin family.
