In adults, utrophin is thought to help stabilize these structures.
In adults, utrophin is thought to help stabilize these structures. The formation of this structure occurs when the proteoglycan agrin binds to a laminin to induce the activation of MuSK receptor and a RAPSYN pathway. Transverse tubules receive a depolarization from this region called the EPP, the end-plate potential. Antibodies that block certain (*) receptors in this structure are the cause of the autoimmune disease myesthenia gravis. First studied by Katz of GHK equation fame, this is the zone in which motor neurons fire action potentials at a certain type of tissue. For 10 points, identify these synapse across which acetylcholine acts as a neurotransmitter.
