Slow-Channel Transgenic Mice: A Model of Postsynaptic Organellar Degeneration at the Neuromuscular Junction
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
The slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndrome (SCCMS) is a dominantly inherited disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by delayed closure of the skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) ion channel and degeneration of the neuromuscular junction. The identification of a series of AChR subunit mutations in the SCCMS supports the hypothesis that the altered kinetics of the endplate currents in...
