Rapsyn variants in ciliary ganglia and their possible effects on clustering of nicotinic receptors.

Journal of neurochemistry - 1 Oct 1999

Conroy W G, Berg D K

Abstract excerpt

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing the alpha7 gene product can influence a range of cellular events in neurons, depending on receptor location. On chick ciliary neurons, the receptors are concentrated on somatic spines, but little is known about mechanisms responsible for sequestering them there. Rapsyn is a 43-kDa protein essential for clustering nicotinic receptors at the vertebrate...
