Biosynthesis and sorting of neuropeptides.
As part of the secretory process neuropeptides are sorted from other cellular compartments and concentrated in vesicles. The vesicles are transported to release sites and stored, awaiting the proper signal for exocytosis. Regulation of the packaging process has many implications for neuropeptide function.
