Membrane skeletons, in particular the spectrin-based skeleton, are thought to participate in the organization of specialized membrane domains by restricting integral proteins to specific membrane sites. In the neuromuscular junction, discrete isoforms of spectrin and ankyrin, the peripheral protein
## Abstract The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of __Caenorhabditis elegans__ has proved to be a very useful model synapse for investigating molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission. Intriguingly, miniature postsynaptic currents (minis) at this synapse occur at an unusually high frequency (50โ90
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaChs) are highly concentrated in the postsynaptic region of the neuromuscular junction, especially in the depths of postsynaptic folds and in the perijunctional region. The formation of the high NaCh density occurs during synapse maturation, approximately 2 weeks afte
