mediatophore

The classical concept of the vesicular hypothesis for acetylcholine (ACh) release, one quantum resulting from exocytosis of one… Expand

Neuroblastoma N18TG-2 cells cannot synthesize or release acetylcholine (ACh), and do not express proteins involved in transmitter… Expand

Mediatophore is a protein that translocates acetylcholine (ACh) on calcium action. It is a homopolymer of a 15-kDa proteolipid… Expand

Neuronal properties such as neurotransmitter uptake and release can be expressed in non-neuronal cells. We show here that… Expand

Antisense oligodesoxynucleotides were used to determine whether the mediatophore proteolipid is necessary for the Ca(2… Expand

Proteoliposomes obtained from the mediatophore, a purified Torpedo electric organ nerve terminals protein, and endogenous lipids… Expand

The present report shows that mediatophore, a nerve terminal membrane protein that translocates acetylcholine on calcium action… Expand

The neuromuscular synapses of the rat sternomastoid muscles contain a membrane protein, mediatophore, that endows artificial… Expand

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the nerve terminal membrane protein, supporting the final step of the acetylcholine… Expand

A protein, which we call "mediatophore," that mediates calcium-dependent release of acetylcholine from proteoliposomes has been… Expand
