Increased expression of rapsyn in muscles prevents acetylcholine receptor loss in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (2005)

Losen, Mario, Stassen, Maurice H. W., Martínez-Martínez, Pilar, Machiels, Barbie M., Duimel, Hans, Frederik, Peter, ...

Myasthenia gravis is usually caused by autoantibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). The AChR is clustered and anchored in the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) by a...

Overexpression of Rapsyn in Rat Muscle Increases Acetylcholine Receptor Levels in Chronic Experimental Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis

Martínez-Martínez, Pilar, Losen, Mario, Duimel, Hans, Frederik, Peter, Spaans, Frank, Molenaar, Peter, ...

The primary autoantigen in myasthenia gravis, the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), is clustered and anchored in the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction by rapsyn. Previously, we found...
