Dopamine Neurotransmitter Release Cycle Authored: Mahajan, SS, 2008-01-14 16:01:52 Dopamine neurotransmitter cycle occurs in dopaminergic neurons. Dopamine is synthesized and loaded into the clathrin sculpted monoamine transport vesicles. The vesicles are docked, primed and fused with the plasmamembrane in the synapse to release dopamine into the synaptic cleft.
