abstractText | In developing muscles in vivo and in vitro, the acetylcholine receptor gamma-subunit exists in two splice variants, conferring different single-channel open durations (tau(op)) to reconstituted receptors. In mouse muscles, tau(op) changes around birth, possibly as receptors incorporate either variant of gamma-subunit. This might be relevant to the concomitant maturation of muscle innervation. |
