Drosophila synapse formation: regulation by transmembrane protein with Leu-rich repeats, CAPRICIOUS.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 26 Jun 1998

Shishido E, Takeichi M, Nose A

Abstract excerpt

Upon reaching the target region, neuronal growth cones transiently search through potential targets and form synaptic connections with only a subset of these. The capricious (caps) gene may regulate these processes in Drosophila. caps encodes a transmembrane protein with leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). During the formation of neuromuscular synapses, caps is expressed in a small number of synaptic partners, including...
