Protein piccolo is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCLO gene.Synaptic vesicles dock and fuse in the active zone of the plasma membrane at chemical synapses. The presynaptic cytoskeletal matrix (PCM) which is associated with the active zone and is situated between synaptic vesicles is thought to be involved in maintaining the neurotransmitter release site in register with the postsynaptic reception apparatus.
