A mechanism in agrin signaling revealed by a prevalent Rapsyn mutation in congenital myasthenic syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Neuromuscular junction is a synapse between motoneurons and skeletal muscles, where acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are concentrated to control muscle contraction. Studies of this synapse have contributed to our understanding of synapse assembly and pathological mechanisms of neuromuscular disorders. Nevertheless, underlying mechanisms of NMJ formation was not well understood. To this end, we took a novel...
