  • Title: Neuronal control of acetylcholine receptor turnover rate at a vertebrate neuromuscular junction.
    Author: Levitt TA, Loring RH, Salpeter MM.
    Journal: Science; 1980 Oct 31; 210(4469):550-1. PubMed ID: 7423205.
    Abstract:
    The turnover rate of acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions in mice increases progressively after denervation and, after 15 days, reaches a half-time of 30 z 5 hours. Denervation thus causes the clustered junctional acetylcholine receptors to assume the rapid turnover characteristic of extrajunctional receptors before innervation.
