Abstract excerpt
Signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in a diverse array of diseases including congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS). Germline mutations in CHRNE encoding the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) ε subunit are the most common cause of CMS. An active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, binds to vitamin D receptor (VDR) and regulates gene expressions. We found that calcitriol enhanced MuSK...
