We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Complexin (CPLX) is the protein which binds the SNARE protein complex with high affinity. CPLX acts as both inhibitor and facilitator of vescicle fusion and neurotransmitter release at the synapse. CPLX clamps SNARE complexes to prevent vescicle fusion while in another conformation it releases the SNARE complex allowing fusion.
