FGF negatively regulates muscle membrane extension in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Apr 2006

Dixon Scott J, Alexander Mariam, Fernandes Raynah, Ricker Nicole, Roy Peter J

Abstract excerpt

Striated muscles from Drosophila and several vertebrates extend plasma membrane to facilitate the formation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) during development. However, the regulation of these membrane extensions is poorly understood. In C. elegans, the body wall muscles (BWMs) also have plasma membrane extensions called muscle arms that are guided to the motor axons where they form the postsynaptic element...
