Target type: cellularcomponent
The narrow gap that separates the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes, into which neurotransmitter is released. [GOC:jl, http://synapses.mcg.edu/anatomy/chemical/synapse.stm]
The synaptic cleft is a specialized intercellular space between a neuron and its target cell, such as another neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. It is the site of neurotransmission, where chemical signals are transmitted from one cell to another. The synaptic cleft is filled with a complex mixture of molecules, including neurotransmitters, enzymes, and structural proteins.
The cellular components of the synaptic cleft can be broadly categorized into three groups:
1. **Presynaptic terminal:** This is the end of the neuron that releases neurotransmitters. It contains a number of specialized structures, including:
* **Synaptic vesicles:** These small membrane-bound sacs store neurotransmitters.
* **Active zones:** These are specialized regions of the presynaptic membrane where neurotransmitters are released.
* **Docking proteins:** These proteins help to anchor synaptic vesicles to the active zones.
* **Fusion proteins:** These proteins mediate the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
2. **Postsynaptic density:** This is a dense protein scaffold located on the postsynaptic membrane. It contains a variety of proteins, including:
* **Receptors:** These proteins bind to neurotransmitters and initiate a signal transduction cascade in the postsynaptic cell.
* **Scaffolding proteins:** These proteins provide structural support for the postsynaptic density and help to organize the receptors and other signaling molecules.
* **Enzymes:** These enzymes are involved in the synthesis, degradation, and recycling of neurotransmitters.
3. **Extracellular matrix:** This is a complex network of proteins and polysaccharides that fills the synaptic cleft. It provides structural support, regulates the diffusion of neurotransmitters, and may also play a role in synaptic plasticity.
The specific composition of the synaptic cleft varies depending on the type of synapse and the function of the neurons involved. However, the basic components described above are common to most synapses.'
