SNARE proteins participate in vesicle exocytosis by:

SNARE proteins participate in vesicle exocytosis by:





  1. forming a protein coat that maintains the vesicle's integrity.
  2. binding calcium and then forming a pore into the vesicle.
  3. forming a protein complex that pulls the vesicle membrane against the plasma membrane.
  4. linking calcium channels to exocytotic fusion sites.
  5. pushing vesicles from the reserve pool into the docked pool.
