Abstract excerpt
Physiological analysis of two lines of paralytic mutant zebrafish, relaxed and sofa potato, reveals defects in distinct types of receptors in skeletal muscle. In sofa potato the paralysis results from failed synaptic transmission because of the absence of acetylcholine receptors, whereas relaxed mutants lack dihydropyridine receptor-mediated release of internal calcium in response to the muscle action potential....
