Park, Yongsoo (author), Ryu, J.K. (author)Vesicles in neurons and neuroendocrine cells store neurotransmitters and peptide hormones, which are released by vesicle fusion in response to Ca<sup>2+</sup>-evoking stimuli. Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), a Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensor, mediates ultrafast exocytosis in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. After vesicle docking, Syt1 has two main groups of...review 2018
