Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Membrane fusion leading to neurotransmitter release requires the action of tSNARE and vSNARE proteins. These proteins allow for the fusion of the vesicle containing neurotransmitters with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. Cadherins and selectins are involved in cell adhesion and not neurotransmitter release, while flipases are involved in lipid bilayer asymmetry and not membrane fusion for neurotransmitter release.
