Synaptosomal acetylcholine vesicle fusion requires a complex interaction of VAMP and membrane bound SNAP25/syntaxin. BTXA is entering the nerve ending by endocytosis. The light chain of the molecule specifically cleaves SNAP-25. The target for some other BTX serotypes is different (see text). By this way, acetylcholine release from nerve endings is blocked.
