Botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins: emerging tools for the study of membrane fusion

R Jahn, PI Hanson, H Otto… - Cold Spring Harbor …, 1995 - symposium.cshlp.org
Neurons release their neurotransmitters by means of exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. To
accomplish this goal, neurons possess a highly specialized pathway of membrane recycling …
