Molecular determinants of presynaptic active zones

C C Garner et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

The presynaptic cytoskeletal matrix (cytomatrix) assembled at active zones has been implicated in defining neurotransmitter release sites. Munc13, Rim, Bassoon and Piccolo/Aczonin are recently identified presynaptic cytomatrix proteins. These multidomain proteins are thought to organize the exocytotic and endocytotic machinery precisely at active zones.
