Synj1 - synaptojanin 1

Enables phosphatase activity; protein C-terminus binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis; and response to retinoic acid. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and synaptic membrane. Part of clathrin coat of coated pit. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse and presynapse. Colocalizes with microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease 20; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 53. Orthologous to human SYNJ1 (synaptojanin 1).
