Using 3D-SIM, several typical active zone scaffold proteins, including Bassoon, RIM, and ELKS, were identified in striatal dopamine axons. These proteins were also shown to be co-clustered in tyrosine ...

Bassoon and Piccolo are two very large scaffolding proteins of the cytomatrix assembled at the active zone (CAZ) where neurotransmitter is released. They share regions of high sequence similarity ...
