A temperature-sensitive paralytic mutant defines a primary synaptic calcium channel in Drosophila.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Jul 2000

Kawasaki F, Felling R, Ordway R W

Abstract excerpt

Neurotransmission at chemical synapses involves regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic terminal. Neurotransmitter release is thought to be triggered by calcium influx through specific classes of voltage-gated calcium channels. Here we report genetic and functional analysis implicating a specific calcium channel gene product in neurotransmitter release. We have isolated a...
