Function
Unc13b antibody plays a crucial role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis, acting as a target of the diacylglycerol second messenger pathway. It is involved in neurotransmitter release, participating in synaptic vesicle priming before vesicle fusion and contributing to the activity-dependent replenishment of the readily releasable vesicle pool (RRP). Unc13b is essential for synaptic vesicle maturation in a specific subset of excitatory/glutamatergic synapses, but not in inhibitory/GABA-mediated synapses. Collaborating with UNC13A, Unc13b facilitates neuronal dense core vesicle fusion and regulates the location and efficiency of their synaptic release.
