Maintenance of neurotransmitter identity by Hox proteins through a homeostatic mechanism
To remain functional throughout life, neuronal cells must maintain the ability to synthesize and release specific neurotransmitters. Here, the authors show that this ability critically depends on the activity of Hox proteins.
