A genetic mutation that results in faulty SNARE receptor protein complexes would have only very mild effects on the nervous system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNARE receptor protein complexes are critical for neurotransmitter release at synapses. A mutation that results in faulty SNARE complexes could potentially cause significant impairment in nervous system function, such as reduced synaptic transmission and impaired communication between neurons.
