Vesicle formation Flashcards
Otto Loewi
Discovered acetylcholine
Where are neurotransmitters synthesized
Cell body or axon terminal
What are neurotransmitter packaged into
Synaptic vesicle
Neurot. are released from
axon terminal
Where do neurotransmitters bind
specific receptors on post synaptic membrane
Precursor peptide is synthesized…
In rough ER
Precursor peptide is split in
Golgi apparatus - Active NT
Secretory vesicles containing
peptide bud off from Golgi
Enzyme precursors to neurotransmitter
cytosol
transporter proteins load
neurotransmitter into synaptic vesicles
Peptide neurotransmitters
- Cholecytstokinin (CKK)
- Dynorphin
- Enkephalin
- Substance P
- Large dense-core vesicles
Microtubules
bipolarization In the dendrites
Kinesin family
Anterograde; fast and slow
Dynein
Anterograde or retrograde; fast (mainly retrograde)
Vesicle membrane
Concentrates membrane proteins in a specialized patch
