This action results in the opening of slow voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels, allowing for a subsequent influx of Ca2+. In turn, it induces the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing ...

Scientists use this protein as an indicator because it hangs out on the synaptic vesicles that store your neurotransmitters; generally, the more SV2A in your brain, the more synapses they can assume ...
