RIMS1
Description
The RIMS1 gene encodes a protein known as RIM-binding protein 1 (RIM1), crucial for regulating synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release at synapses. RIM1 acts as a scaffold protein, interacting with various other proteins involved in the intricate process of synaptic transmission. Its role in anchoring and organizing the synaptic machinery is essential for proper neuronal communication, impacting various neurological functions.
