Regulation of presynaptic Ca2+ channel abundance at active zones through a balance of delivery and turnover

Karen L Cunningham, Chad W Sauvola, Sara Z. Tavana, J. Troy Littleton

The paper investigates how voltage-gated Ca2+ channel abundance at Drosophila active zones is regulated through delivery, turnover, and interactions with BRP and 2{delta}.
