Description:
Synapses between neuroblastoma-hybrid cells and myotubes exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Increase of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels of the hybrid cells for several days results in the appearance of functional voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, which are required for evoked secretion of acetylcholine. The results show that cyclic AMP regulates synaptogenesis by regulating the expression of voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, and suggest that cyclic AMP affects posttranslational modifications of some glycoproteins and cellular levels of certain proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nirenberg, M -- Wilson, S -- Higashida, H -- Rotter, A -- Krueger, K -- Busis, N -- Ray, R -- Kenimer, J G -- Adler, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Nov 18;222(4625):794-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6314503" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
