The localization and function of synaptotagmin (syt)17 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain, which is the master circadian oscillator, were investigated. The Syt17 mRNA-containing neurons were mainly situated in the shell region while SYT17 immunoreactive cell bodies and neural fibers were detected in the core and shell of the SCN and the subparaventricular zone (SPZ). Further, electron microscopy analysis revealed SYT17 in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), Golgi apparatus (G), and large and small vesicles of neurons. Syt17 mRNA expression in the SCN showed a circadian rhythm, and light exposure at night suppressed its expression. In addition, the free running period of locomotor activity rhythm was shortened in Syt17-deletion mutant mice. These findings suggest that SYT17 is involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms.
