Annotation description:Exoc4/Sec8 interacts with PDZ domain of SAP102 forming a complex with NMDARs. Double-labelling with SAP102 and Sec6-Sec8 showed colocalization associated with rough endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles in the soma, as well as with vesicles and presumptive tubulovesicular structures throughout the soma, neurites, growth cones, early synaptic contacts and post-synaptic densities.
