title: Electrophoretic movement and localisation of acetylcholine receptors in the embryonic muscle cell membrane.
abstract: A steady electric field of 30 mV across a single embryonic muscle cell produces accumulation of acetylcholine receptors toward one pole of the cell within 1 h. The movement is electrophoretic in nature and the accumulation results in the formation of stable, metabolically independent receptor aggregates.
