Term Information

Accession: GO:0032280
Name: symmetric synapse
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: Gray's type II synapse
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A synapse that lacks an electron dense postsynaptic specialization. In vertebtrates, these occur primarily on dendrite shafts and neuronal cell bodies and involve persynapses containing clusters of predominantly flattened or elongated vesicles and are typcially inhibitory. Source: GOC:ef, GOC:dgh
Comment: The term 'symmetric' in this name refers only to gross morphology. There is no implication of functional symmetry.
