text: Upon the arrival of action potentials at nerve terminals, neurotransmitters
are released from synaptic vesicles (SVs) by exocytosis. CaV2.1, 2.2, and 2.3
are the major subunits of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) responsible
for increasing intraterminal calcium levels and triggering SV exocytosis in the
central nervous system (CNS) synapses. The two-dimensional analysis of CaV2 distributions
using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-digested freeze-fracture replica labeling (SDS-FRL)
has revealed their numbers, densities, and nanoscale clustering patterns in individual
presynaptic active zones. The variation in these properties affects the coupling
of VGCCs with calcium sensors on SVs, synaptic efficacy, and temporal precision
of transmission. In this study, we summarize how the morphological parameters
of CaV2 distribution obtained using SDS-FRL differ depending on the different
types of synapses and could correspond to functional properties in synaptic transmission.
