A particular neuron does not release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.Further investigation shows that this cell does not respond to calcium ions that are necessary for t- and v-SNARE complex interaction.The most likely problem is associated with the function of
A)synaptic boutons.
B)acetylcholinesterase.
C)synaptotagmin.
D)GABA receptors.
E)calcium ions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptotagmin is a protein that acts as a calcium sensor and is essential for triggering neurotransmitter release by facilitating the interaction of t- and v-SNARE proteins in response to calcium ions.
