Syt4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including phosphatidylserine binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dense core granule cytoskeletal transport; negative regulation of transport; and vesicle organization. Located in several cellular components, including astrocyte projection; neuronal cell body; and secretory vesicle. Orthologous to human SYT4 (synaptotagmin 4).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Syt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
