The lysosome or lysosome-related organelle may serve as a Ca2+ store in the boutons of hippocampal pyramidal cells.
Boutons are specialised presynaptic compartments that lie along the axons of central neurons. Release of neurotransmitter from boutons is tightly regulated by the level of intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i. A rise in Ca2+ level may be generated in several ways; entry of extracellular Ca2+ via voltage ga...
