Abstract
One of the earliest steps in the development of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the pre-patterning of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) in the center of muscle fibers. This process has recently been proposed to depend on L-type calcium currents. But its feeble current properties make the skeletal muscle calcium channel (Ca(v)1.1) a poor candidate for this function. Independently a new Ca(v)1.1e splice variant with greatly distinct current...
