Background: Synaptic vesicle recycling involves numerous proteins that contribute to the formation and trafficking of the SNARE complexes throughout the cell. Synaptoporin, also designated synaptophysin 2, is an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles that belongs to the synaptophysin/synaptobrevin family. Synaptoporin is highly homologus to Synaptophysin 1 and both Synaptoporin and synaptophysin 1 contain four transmembrane domains and a short cytoplasmic tail. The Synaptoporin protein also contains one MARVEL domain, a membrane-associating domain found in lipid-associating proteins, and displays calcium-binding activity which may be localized to its cytoplasmic tail. Syntaphilin, synaptophysin and Synaptoporin regulate the formation of the vesicles by competing with components of the SNARE complexes to respectively inhibit either the assembly or the secretion of the synaptic vesicles.
