The functional role of synaptotagmin-17 (syt-17) has remained unanswered. In this study, authors demonstrate that syt-17 exists in two distinct pools in hippocampal neurons (Golgi complex and early endosomes), where it served two completely independent functions: controlling neurite outgrowth and synaptic physiology
