Abstract excerpt

Synaptotagmin is a synaptic vesicle specific protein that binds calcium and phospholipids in vitro and is required for calcium-regulated fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. We have examined the possible requirement for synaptotagmin in axonal outgrowth by following neuronal...
