Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) contain specialized basal laminas enriched for proteins not found at high concentrations extrasynaptically. Alterations in NMJ basement membrane components can result in loss of NMJ structural integrity and lead to muscular dystrophies. We demonstrate here that the conserved Caenorhabditis elegans basement membrane-associated molecules nidogen/entactin (NID-1) and type...
