The gene STXBP1 (syntaxin binding protein 1) encodes a regulatory protein of the components of the SNARE (soluble NSF/ N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex that are crucial for neurotransmission. It is a neuronal protein that functions in synaptic vesicle release. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. It causes autosomal dominant mental retardation and nonsyndromic epilepsy.
