Recombinant mouse RAPSN protein
43 kDa receptor-associated protein of the synapse, also known as RAPSN, is expressed in the postsynaptic membrane of skeletal muscle. RAPSN is required for the clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) . It self-associates through at least two of its seven tetra-tricopeptide repeats (TPRs) . RAPSN interacts with the large intracellular domain of the nAChR a subunit through the hydrophobic surface of the coiled-coil domain. This protein modifies trafficking of AChR within the cell. Overexpression inhibits agrin-induced AChR clustering pathway. Recombinant human RAPSN protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli.
