Lack of Desmin in Mice Causes Structural and Functional Disorders of Neuromuscular Junctions

Lack of Desmin in Mice Causes Structural and Functional Disorders of Neuromuscular Junctions

Desmin, the major intermediate filament (IF) protein in muscle cells, interlinks neighboring myofibrils and connects the whole myofibrillar apparatus to myonuclei, mitochondria, and the sarcolemma. However, desmin is also known to be enriched at postsynaptic membranes of neuromuscular junctions (NMJ...
