Localized expression of amphiphysin Ir, a retina-specific variant of amphiphysin I, in the ribbon synapse and its functional implication.

Abstract excerpt

In the vertebrate retina, presynaptic terminals of photoreceptors and bipolar cells form ribbon synapses and release neurotransmitter continuously. Endocytic machinery in the ribbon synapse is likely to differ from that in conventional synapses because of the much higher rate of synaptic vesicle recycling. However, protein components of the ribbon synapse identified so far are quite similar to those of the...
