SNCAIP, Official Symbol SNCAIPprovided by HGNC Official Full Name synuclein alpha interacting proteinprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:11139 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000064692 MIM:603779; AllianceGenome:HGNC:11139 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as Sph1; SYPH1 Summary This gene encodes a protein containing several protein-protein interaction domains, including ankyrin-like repeats, a coiled-coil domain, and an ATP/GTP-binding motif. The encoded protein interacts with alpha-synuclein in neuronal tissue and may play a role in the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions and neurodegeneration. A mutation in this gene has been associated with Parkinson's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
