Abstract excerpt
Synaptotagmin, an integral membrane protein of the synaptic vesicle, binds calcium and interacts with proteins of the plasma membrane. These observations suggest several possible functions for synaptotagmin in synaptic vesicle dynamics: it could facilitate exocytosis by promoting calcium-dependent fusion, inhibit exocytosis by preventing fusion, or facilitate endocytosis of synaptic vesicles from the plasma...
