AmiGO 2: Term Details for "inhibitory neuromuscular junction" (GO:0098521)

Accession: GO:0098521
Name: inhibitory neuromuscular junction
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The junction between the axon of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. In response to the arrival of action potentials, the presynaptic button releases molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to a change in post-synaptic potential that inhibits muscle contraction. Source: GOC:dos
Comment: Inhibitory neuromuscular junctions are found in arthropods but not in vertebrates.
