Chromaffin cells release transmitters from populations of granules to which synaptotagmin-1 and synaptotagmin-7 are selectively sorted. Rao et al. characterize the functional properties of these granules and show that synaptotagmin-7 confers fast kinetics and high efficacy to the exocytotic event.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
