Synaptotagmin V: a novel synaptotagmin isoform expressed in rat brain [PDF]
Regulated Ca2+-dependent release of transmitters from synaptic vesicles is an important characteristic of chemical neurotransmission. Synaptotagmins are abundant synaptic vesicle transmembrane proteins that probably function as Ca2+ sensors.

KIF1A-Associated Neurological Disorder: An Overview of a Rare Mutational Disease
KIF1A-associated neurological diseases (KANDs) are a group of inherited conditions caused by changes in the microtubule (MT) motor protein KIF1A as a result of KIF1A gene mutations.

Neuromodulation Induced by Sitagliptin: A New Strategy for Treating Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) involves progressive neurovascular degeneration of the retina. Reduction in synaptic protein expression has been observed in retinas from several diabetic animal models and human retinas.

Synaptotagmin I is essential for Ca2+-independent release of neurotransmitter induced by α-latrotoxin [PDF]
α-Latrotoxin causes massive release of norepinephrine from clonal rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, in the absence of external Ca2+, by an unknown mechanism.

Domain structure of synaptotagmin (p65) [PDF]
Synaptotagmin (p65) is an abundant and evolutionarily conserved protein of synaptic vesicles that contains two copies of an internal repeat homologous to the regulatory region of protein kinase C.

Presynaptic Trafficking of Synaptotagmin I Is Regulated by Protein Palmitoylation [PDF]
Protein palmitoylation plays a critical role in sorting and targeting of several proteins to pre- and postsynaptic sites. In this study, we have analyzed the role of palmitoylation in trafficking of synaptotagmin I and its modulation by synaptic activity.

Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein-2/Synaptobrevin Binding to Synaptotagmin I Promotes O-Glycosylation of Synaptotagmin I [PDF]
Synaptotagmin I (Syt I), an evolutionarily conserved integral membrane protein of synaptic vesicles, is now known to regulate Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release. Syt I protein should undergo several post-translational modifications before maturation and subsequent functioning on synaptic vesicles (e.g.
