Synaptotagmin-4

Definition:

Synaptotagmin family member which does not bind Ca(2+) (By similarity). Involved in neuronal dense core vesicles (DCVs) mobility through its interaction with KIF1A. Upon increased neuronal activity, phosphorylation by MAPK8/JNK1 destabilizes the interaction with KIF1A and captures DCVs to synapses (By similarity). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes.
