DOC2A [ENSP00000482870]

Double C2-like domain-containing protein alpha; Calcium sensor which most probably regulates fusion of vesicles with membranes. Binds calcium and phospholipids. May be involved in calcium dependent neurotransmitter release through the interaction with UNC13A. May be involved in calcium-dependent spontaneous release of neurotransmitter in absence of action potentials in neuronal cells. Regulates Ca(2+)-dependent secretory lysosome exocytosis in mast cells.

Synonyms: DOC2A, DOC2Ap, hDOC2A, H3BNF7, H3BSH4 ...

Linkouts: STRING Pharos UniProt

The tissue associations are derived from manually curated knowledge in UniProtKB and via automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, which has not been manually verified. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest. Download files from earlier versions are archived on figshare.

Each tissue–gene association is based on a text-mining score, which is proportional to 1) the absolute number of comentionings and 2) the ratio of observed to expected comentionings (i.e. the enrichment). These scores are normalized to z-scores by comparing them to a random background. This is represented by stars, each star corresponding to two standard deviations above the mean of the background distribution.
