CAPS (Calcium-dependent Activator Protein for Secretion) is a conserved cytosolic protein critical for regulating dense-core vesicle (DCV) exocytosis and neurotransmitter release. First identified in the 1990s, CAPS belongs to the UNC-31 protein family and plays a key role in priming secretory vesicles for calcium-triggered fusion with the plasma membrane. Structurally, it contains a C2 domain for calcium sensing, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain for membrane interaction, and a DCV-binding domain, enabling its dual function in vesicle docking and fusion.
Recombinant CAPS proteins are engineered using expression systems like *E. coli* or insect cells, often fused with affinity tags (e.g., GST, His-tag) to facilitate purification. These proteins retain functional domains, allowing researchers to study their interactions with phospholipids, SNARE proteins, and other exocytosis regulators in vitro. Recombinant CAPS has been instrumental in deciphering molecular mechanisms of hormone secretion, synaptic transmission, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Its application extends to drug screening for neurological or endocrine diseases linked to vesicle trafficking defects. Studies using recombinant CAPS have also clarified its role in insulin secretion and neuronal plasticity, highlighting its therapeutic potential. However, challenges remain in mimicking post-translational modifications critical for its activity, driving ongoing optimization of eukaryotic expression platforms. Overall, recombinant CAPS serves as a vital tool for both basic research and translational studies in cellular secretion pathways.
