  1. Most proteins that function in the mammalian SV life cycle are listed. aProtein symbols are provided by HUGO, the Human Genome Organization Gene nomenclature committee http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/. IDs are according to UniProt database http://www.expasy.uniprot.org. bProteins listed are from Human are marked according to their main function in exocytosis (Exo), endocytosis (Endo) and synapse maintenance (M). The proteins with intrinsic enzymatic activity are marked by an asterisk (*). Proteins whose function is in building, shaping and maintenance of the pre-and postsynaptic structures are not included. For simplicity only one representative of a gene family is listed. PM, plasma membrane; Cyt, cytosol; TMD, transmembrane domain.
