AmiGO 2: Term Details for "neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle fiber" (GO:0098522)

Accession: GO:0098522
Name: neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle fiber
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A neuromuscular junction in which the target muscle cell is a skeletal muscle fiber. Source: GOC:dos
Comment: In vertebrates, the term 'neuromuscular junction' is limited to synapses targeting skeletal muscle fibers - all of which are cholinergic and excitatory. Both inhibitory and excitatory neuromuscular junctions exist in invertebrates, utilizing a range of neurotransmitters including glutamate, GABA and 5-HT.
