physiological function | the enzyme undergoes binding to specific components of the basal membrane at the neuromuscular junction, is endocytosed into motor neurons and sorted to axonal signaling endosomes. Following this, the enzyme is transported to the soma of motor neurons located in the spinal cord or brainstem, and then transcytosed to inhibitory interneurons, where it blocks synaptic transmission. Enzyme-induced impairment of inhibitory input leads to hyperactivity of motor neurons, causing spastic paralysis | Clostridium tetani |
