Abstract excerpt
The activation of regulated exocytosis occurs by a rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Synaptotagmins act as the Ca(2+) sensors, whereas the machinery that allows fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane consists of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins, including syntaxin 1, SNAP-25, and VAMP. Within the pathway leading to exocytosis, there is...
