Tissue SpecificitySpecifically expressed in neural and endocrine secretory tissues. Expressed in brain and pancreas and at low level in heart. Also expressed in fetal heart, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, occipital pole, frontal and temporal lobes, and putamen, as well as weak expression in spinal cord. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12659812}.

Subcellular location [CC]Synapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62717}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, neuronal dense core vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62717};
Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62717}. Note=Membrane-associated to vesicles. Strongly enriched in synaptic fractions. Preferentially binds to dense core vesicles but not to synaptic vesicles. Binds phosphoinosides, with a strong selectivity for PtdIns(4,5)P2 over PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. Probably localizes to different vesicles compared to CADPS2. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62717}.
