Secretory vesicle
| Definition | The secretory vesicle is a vesicle that mediates the vesicular transport of cargo - e.g. hormones or neurotransmitters - from an organelle to specific sites at the cell membrane, where it docks and fuses to release its content. It has been demonstrated that membrane-bound secretory vesicles dock and fuse at porosomes, which are specialized supramolecular structures at the cell membrane. |
