In common with these neuromuscular synapses, but unlike the neuroelectrocyte synapses in Torpedo, the
synaptic vesicles in skate are homogeneous in size (Fox et al., 1988).

AZs represent specialized regions of the presynaptic membrane where quantal neurotransmitter release occurs via
synaptic vesicle exocytosis [16, 17].
The immunogenic tail of synaptophysin is a characteristic shared by the

Synaptophysin: leading actor or walk-on role in
synaptic vesicle exocytosis?
Consistently, it has also been shown that recovery of the fast component of release (the FRP) was slowed when
synaptic vesicle endocytosis was inhibited.44) Release sites have to be cleared by endocytosis before new vesicles can be docked or become release ready.
Synaptophysin, a major
synaptic vesicle protein, is not essential for neurotransmitter release.
