Abstract excerpt
Neurexins are neuron-specific cell surface molecules thought to localize to presynaptic membranes. Recent genetic studies using Drosophila melanogaster have implicated an essential role for a single Drosophila neurexin (dnrx) in the proper architecture, development and function of synapses in vivo. However, the precise mechanisms underlying these actions are not fully understood. To elucidate the molecular...
