Abstract excerpt
The dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) consists of several transmembrane and intracellular scaffolding elements that have been implicated in maintaining the structure and morphology of the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Genetic linkage analysis has identified loss-of-function mutations in DAPC genes that give rise to degenerative muscular dystrophies. Although much is known about the...
