Synapsins, a group of at least five related members (synapsins Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb and IIIa), are abundant brain proteins essential for regulating neurotransmitter release (1,2). All synapsins contain a short amino-terminal domain that is highly conserved and phosphorylated by PKA or CaM kinase I (1). Phosphorylation of synapsin amino-terminal domain at serine 9 inhibits its binding to phospholipids and dissociates synapsins from synaptic vesicles (2).
