2.A.1.49.1
The spinster protein, spin1 or spns1 gene product (involved in synaptic growth regulation; interacts with Bcl-2/Bcl-xL, affecting programmed cell death) (Nakano et al., 2001; Sanyal and Ramaswami, 2002; Yanagisawa et al., 2003).  Probably transports sphingosine-1-phosphate (Fukuhara et al. 2012), but polymorphisms in spns1 are associated with alterred triglyceride levels (Västermark et al. 2012).
