Background

DOC2A/Doc2 alpha (Double C2-like domain containing protein alpha) is a 44 kDa (predicted) monomeric member of the C2 domain-containing protein family of molecules. It is expressed in both neurons and mast cells, and appears to serve as an intracellular Ca⁺⁺ sensor protein that regulates secretory vesicle release. In neurons, Doc2 alpha is normally bound to synaptic vesicles and interacts with Munc13-1 to promote secretory vesicle exocytosis through the cell membrane. In mast cells, a similar process occurs that involves Munc13-4 instead of Munc13-1. Human Doc2 alpha is 400 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a Mid domain (aa 13-37) that binds Munc13-1, followed by one C2 domain that binds Ca⁺⁺ and lipid (aa 91-195), and a second C2 domain that binds SNAP25 (253-356). There is one potential alternative start site 16 aa upstream of the standard site. Over aa 1-114, human Doc2 alpha shares 90% aa sequence identity with mouse Doc2 alpha . Human DOC2B is the product of a separate gene, and shares no meaningful aa sequence identity (< 30%) with human Doc2 alpha .
