Neuron-type specific functions of DNT1, DNT2 and Spz at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.

Neuron-type specific functions of DNT1, DNT2 and Spz at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.

Retrograde growth factors regulating synaptic plasticity at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in Drosophila have long been predicted but their discovery has been scarce. In vertebrates, such retrograde factors produced by the muscle include GDNF and the neurotrophins (NT: NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4). NT...
