BSN
Description
The BSN (bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 3.
BSN, or Bassoon, is a gene that codes for a protein involved in the function of synapses, the junctions between neurons.
Bassoon is a scaffold protein that plays a crucial role in the formation and function of synapses, the junctions between neurons. It helps organize the presynaptic active zone, the site where neurotransmitters are released. Bassoon participates in the formation of Piccolo-Bassoon transport vesicles (PTVs), which transport proteins to the synapse. It also regulates the organization of synaptic vesicles, which store neurotransmitters, and their release. Bassoon interacts with various proteins involved in synaptic function, including SIAH1, ATG5, CTBP1, and DAO, suggesting its involvement in processes like ubiquitination, autophagy, and gene expression.
BSN is also known as ZNF231.
