Abstract excerpt
The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is caused by auto-antibodies that affect the activity of presynaptic calcium channels at the neuromuscular junction. Weakness in LEMS is particularly affecting the legs. Here we used leg muscles from the rolling Nagoya (RN) mouse with a R1262G mutation in the alpha-1 subunit of the P/Q-type (Ca(v)2.1) calcium channel. We found that in homozygote flexor digitorum brevis...
