Background
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are organized into high-density postsynaptic clusters at the motor endplate that are critical for efficient synaptic transmission. The organization of AChR’s is carried out by the 43 kDa cytoplasmic protein rapsyn. Studies have indicated that mutations which impair the activity of rapsyn can lead to the formation of congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS). CMS is characterized by poor development of the postsynaptic region.
