Synapsins I and I1 are a family of synaptic vesicleassociated phosphoproteins involved in the short-term regulation of neurotransmitter release. In this review, we discuss a working model for the molecular mechanisms by which the synapsins act. We propose that synapsin I links synaptic vesicles to a

Maintenance of compartmental independence and diversity is part of the blueprint of the eukaryotic cell. The molecular composition of every organelle membrane is custom tailored to fulfill its unique tasks. It is retained by strict sorting and directional transport of newly synthesized cellular comp
We have previously shown that rat perinatal exposure to morphine causes dopaminergic and met-enkephalin (ME) and substance P (SP) changes in the striatum during the early postnatal period (Tenconi et al.: Int J Dev Neurosci 10517-526, 1992); in addition it increases the susceptibility to neurotoxic
