## Abstract Agrin is required for appropriate preβ and postsynaptic differentiation of neuromuscular junctions. While agrin's ability to orchestrate postsynaptic differentiation is well documented, more recent experiments have suggested that agrin is also a βstop signalβ for the presynaptic neuron,
The carboxy-terminal globular domain (G-domain) of the laminin β£1 chain has been shown to promote heparin binding, cell adhesion, and neurite outgrowth. In this study, we defined the potential sequences originating from the G-domain of laminin β£1 chain which possess these functional activities. A se
