A compound that blocked vesicular transporters would likely:
A) increase the activity of postsynaptic receptors.
B) cause a decrease in calcium influx.
C) prevent reuptake.
D) prevent the storage of neurotransmitters in vesicles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vesicular transporters are responsible for packaging neurotransmitters into vesicles for release. If a compound blocks these transporters, it would prevent neurotransmitters from being stored in vesicles, leading to a decrease in neurotransmitter release. This would not affect the activity of postsynaptic receptors, calcium influx, or reuptake directly.
