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...

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 vesicle membrane proteins synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) and synaptotagmin-2 (Syt2) have been identified as receptors for BoNT family members including BoNT/B, DC, and G, but their contributions at physiologically relevant toxin concentrations in vivo have yet to be validated and established.
