SNARE proteins regulate synaptic vesicle exocytosis and neurotransmitter release in presynaptic active zones. This video illustrates how SNAREs drive the fusion of two phospholipid membranes (a synaptic vesicle surface and a presynaptic plasma membrane), and how the post-fusion SNARE complexes are disassembled and recycled for another round of membrane fusion.
