Noradrenaline release from permeabilized synaptosomes is inhibited by the light chain of tetanus toxin [PDF]

, 1992
Noradrenaline release from rat brain cortical synaptosomes permeabilized with streptolysin O can be triggered by μM concentrations of free Ca2+. This process was inhibited within minutes by tetanus toxin and its isolated light chain, but not by its heavy
