distal axon

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

That part of an axon close to and including the growth cone or the axon terminus. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, PMID:17202468]

The distal axon, the portion of the axon farthest from the cell body, is characterized by a specialized cellular component crucial for signal transmission. This region comprises the axolemma, a specialized plasma membrane enriched with ion channels and pumps essential for action potential propagation. The axoplasm, the cytoplasm of the axon, contains the cytoskeletal elements - microtubules, neurofilaments, and microfilaments - which provide structural support and facilitate the transport of organelles and molecules along the axon. The distal axon may also contain specialized structures like synaptic vesicles, which store and release neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling communication with other neurons or target cells. Additionally, mitochondria are concentrated in the distal axon, providing energy for the metabolically demanding processes of signal transmission. The presence of myelin, a fatty sheath surrounding the axon, can further enhance signal conduction efficiency in the distal axon.'
