The effect on synaptic physiology of synaptotagmin mutations in Drosophila.

Neuron - 1 Apr 1994

DiAntonio A, Schwarz T L

Abstract excerpt

Synaptotagmin is a synaptic vesicle protein implicated in neurotransmitter release. Molecular characterization of four mutant alleles of this protein in Drosophila melanogaster has permitted an investigation of synaptotagmin's role in synaptic physiology and of some of the structural requirements...
