ACh-filled synaptic vesicles with an attached synaptobrevin protein. VAMP combine with SNAP 25 and syntaxin combine to form the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex. This complex causes calcium influx, membrane depolarization, and ACh exocytosis from the presynaptic nerve terminal into the synaptic cleft.
