Term Information

Accession
GO:0016081
Name
synaptic vesicle docking
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
synaptic vesicle docking involved in exocytosis, synaptic vesicle docking during exocytosis
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The initial (indirect) attachment of a synaptic vesicle membrane to the presynaptic active zone membrane, mediated by proteins protruding from the membrane and proteins of the presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Synaptic vesicle tethering is the first step in this process. Source: PMID:15217342
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).
