Acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity ARIA

Numerous studies have shown that the level of surface AChR increases in muscle cells in response to neural tissue and brain extracts (Neugebauer et al., 1985 Buc-Caron et al., 1983 Jessel et al., 1979). One such factor, ascorbic acid, increases the surface AChR level in rat-derived cloned L5 muscle cells (Knaack et al., 1986 Knaack and Podleski, 1985). Other factors, acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity (ARIA) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) also increase the sur-...
