General Information
Term presynaptic membrane ID (Ontology) GO:0042734 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A specialized area of membrane of the axon terminal that faces the plasma membrane of the neuron or muscle fiber with which the axon terminal establishes a synaptic junction; many synaptic junctions exhibit structural presynaptic characteristics, such as conical, electron-dense internal protrusions, that distinguish it from the remainder of the axon plasma membrane.[ ISBN:0815316194 ]
Also Known As "pre-synaptic membrane" ; "presynaptic plasma membrane"
