Abstract

Wnt proteins regulate acetylcholine receptor clustering in muscle cells.

Molecular brain, 2012; PubMed, Mus Musculus Wnt9a — Mus Musculus Musk
ABSTRACT: The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a cholinergic synapse that rapidly conveys signals from motoneurons to muscle cells and exhibits a high degree of subcellular specialization characteristic of chemical synapses. NMJ formation requires agrin and its coreceptors LRP4 and MuSK. Increasing evidence indicates that Wnt signaling regulates NMJ formation in Drosophila, C. elegans and zebrafish.
