Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2C (SV2C)

Target
SV2C
Molecular classification
Major facilitator superfamily (MFS), SLC22B family, Transporter
01

Overview

SV2C is a critical synaptic vesicle protein predominantly expressed in dopaminergic regions of the brain. It regulates neurotransmitter storage—especially dopamine—by modulating uptake/retention within presynaptic vesicles. Its interactions with key proteins like synaptotagmin‑1 and α-synuclein link it directly to exocytosis processes and neurodegenerative disease pathways such as those seen in Parkinson's disease. Additionally, its role as a receptor for botulinum toxins highlights its clinical relevance beyond endogenous physiology. Despite extensive research, many aspects—including precise transport substrates—remain incompletely understood at this time.
