Abstract excerpt
Agrin is an extracellular matrix protein involved in the formation of the postsynaptic apparatus of the neuromuscular junction. In addition to spinal motor neurons, agrin is expressed by many other neuronal populations throughout the nervous system. Agrin's role outside of the neuromuscular junction, however, is poorly understood. Here we use the polymerase chain reaction to examine expression and alternative...
