Amygdaloid

Amygdule, a mineral filled vesicle in volcanic rock, amygdaloidal texture

Arfaptin

In molecular biology, the arfaptin domain is a protein domain which interacts with ARF1, a small GTPase involved in vesicle budding at the Golgi complex and immature secretory granules.

Behavioral neuroscience

Synapto-pHluorin is a technique that relies on a fusion protein that combines a synaptic vesicle membrane protein and a pH sensitive fluorescent protein.

COP1

For the membrane coated vesicle used in transport, see here.

Endocytic cycle

LDL in the blood binds to LDL receptors on the surface of fibroblasts; these receptors concentrate in coated pits (they are about 200x as concentrated here as along the rest of the cell’s plasma membrane) and are internalised when the pit becomes a coated vesicle.

Epimorphin

When the N terminus is on the cytosolic face it acts as a t-SNARE involved in intracellular vesicle docking and is called Syntaxin-2.

Granzyme

However, new evidence indicates that a multimeric complex (Granzyme B, perforin, and granulysin) can enter a cell through the mannose 6-phosphate receptor (or another receptor found in tumor cells) and is enclosed in a vesicle (a sac).

Synaptosome

In a collaborative study with the electron microscopist George Gray from University College London, Victor P. Whittaker eventually showed that the acetylcholine-rich particles derived from guinea-pig cerebral cortex were synaptic vesicle-rich pinched-off nerve terminals.
