Name
synaptic vesicle priming
Ontology

Synonyms
None
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A process that converts synaptic vesicles to a state of competence for calcium triggered fusion with the active zone membrane by bringing the two membranes into very close proximity. Priming typically (but not always) occurs after docking (Jahn and Fasshauer, 2012). Primed vesicles are also capable of spontaneously fusing with the active zone membrane. Source: PMID:15217342, PMID:23060190, GOC:mah
Comment
Although this process can occur outside of synaptic transmission, by convention we treat it as a part of synaptic transmission. (dos, pvn, fk synapse project 2015)
