SNAREs take the stage: a prime time to trigger neurotransmitter secretion

S Bajjalieh. Trends Neurosci. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

The secretion of neurotransmitters requires formation of the SNARE complex, a protein complex comprised of vesicle and plasma-membrane proteins. Recent data indicate that the SNARE complex forms in stages, suggesting that its assembly might be one way by which synaptic efficacy is regulated.
