A well-known neurotoxin that prevents exocytosis is botulinum toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction by cleaving proteins essential for vesicle fusion, thereby blocking neurotransmitter release. This action leads to muscle paralysis and is the basis for its medical and cosmetic uses.
