A synaptic laminin-calcium channel interaction organizes active zones in motor nerve terminals.

Nature - 2 Dec 2004

Nishimune Hiroshi, Sanes Joshua R, Carlson Steven S

Abstract excerpt

Synapse formation requires the differentiation of a functional nerve terminal opposite a specialized postsynaptic membrane. Here, we show that laminin beta2, a component of the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction, binds directly to calcium channels that are required for neurotransmitter...
