The Drosophila Serrate is Required for Synaptic Structure and Function at Larval Neuromuscular Junctions

Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model system to identify genes involved in synaptic growth and function. In Drosophila, the Serrate (Ser) gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is a ligand for Notch receptor. Several previous studies implicated a role for Serrate in normal wing developmen...
