Also known as N-copinecopine-6

Summary

CPNE6 (copine 6, HGNC:2319) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q11.2, encoding Copine-6 (O95741). Calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that plays a role in calcium-mediated intracellular processes.

This gene encodes a member of the copine family. Members of this family are calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding proteins with C2 domains, two calcium- and phospholipid-binding domains. Through their domain structure and lipid binding capabilities, these proteins may play a role in membrane trafficking. This protein is thought to be brain-specific and has a domain structure of two N-terminal C2 domains and one von Willebrand factor A domain. It may have a role in synaptic plasticity.

Function. Calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that plays a role in calcium-mediated intracellular processes. Binds phospholipid membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via second C2 domain) with OS9 (via C-terminus); this interaction occurs in a calcium-dependent manner in vitro. May interact with NECAB1.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Clathrin-coated vesicle. Perikaryon. Cell projection. Dendrite.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed in the brain. Expressed weakly in the kidney, liver and fetal heart. Expressed in melanocytes.

Domain organisation. The C2 domain 1 binds phospholipids in a calcium-independent manner and is not necessary for calcium-mediated translocation and association to the plasma membrane. The C2 domain 2 binds phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner and is necessary for calcium-mediated translocation and association to the plasma membrane. The linker region contributes to the calcium-dependent translocation and association to the plasma membrane. The VWFA domain is necessary for association with intracellular clathrin-coated vesicles in a calcium-dependent manner.

Similarity. Belongs to the copine family.
