Abstract

Synaptotagmin-like immunoreactivity was shown to be localized at crayfish neuromuscular junctions by whole mount immunocytochemistry. Synaptotagmin-like immunoreactivity was present in both phasic and tonic excitatory terminals and inhibitory nerve terminals. Immunoblots indicated that the antibody DSYT-2 raised againstDrosophila synaptotagmin, labelled proteins at relative molecular weights of 87 kDa and 107 kDa in crayfish ganglion and neuromuscular preparations.
