Abstract excerpt
The double C2 (Doc2) family is characterized by an N-terminal Munc13-1-interacting domain and C-terminal tandem C2 domains, and it comprises three isoforms, Doc2alpha, Doc2beta, and Doc2gamma, in humans and mice. Doc2alpha, the best-characterized, brain-specific isoform, exhibits Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding activity through its C2A domain, and the Ca(2+)-binding activity is thought to be important for...
