Transport and Secretion of the Wnt3 Ligand by Motor Neuron-like Cells and Developing Motor Neurons

Transport and Secretion of the Wnt3 Ligand by Motor Neuron-like Cells and Developing Motor Neurons

The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is formed by a presynaptic motor nerve terminal and a postsynaptic muscle specialization. Cumulative evidence reveals that Wnt ligands secreted by the nerve terminal control crucial steps of NMJ synaptogenesis. For instance, the Wnt3 ligand is expressed by...
