Knockin mouse models demonstrate differential contributions of synaptotagmin-1 and -2 as receptors for botulinum neurotoxins.

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known and are also utilized to treat a wide range of disorders including muscle spasm, overactive bladder, and pain. BoNTs' ability to target neurons determines their specificity, potency, and therapeutic efficacy. Homologous synaptic ves...

description Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known and are also utilized to treat a wide range of disorders including muscle spasm, overactive bladder, and pain.
