Neurexin mediates neuropeptide release from cholinergic motor neurons through dense-core vesicle localization

Neurexins are critical synaptic cell adhesion molecules that play many roles in modulating neurotransmitter release and synaptic function, and are high-confidence risk genes for neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism. Understanding the function of the neurexin superfamily has been challenging in mammalian systems...
