Abstract excerpt
unc-13 mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans are characterized by a severe deficit in neurotransmitter release. Their phenotype is similar to that of the C. elegans unc-18 mutation, which is thought to affect synaptic vesicle docking to the active zone. This suggests a crucial role for the unc-13 gene product in the mediation or regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Munc13-1 is one of three closely related rat...
