MuSK acts as both an agrin-LRP4 receptor and BMP co-receptor at the NMJ. In these two roles, MuSK regulates different elements of postsynaptic machinery and NMJ function. Both roles of MuSK are required for endplate potentials to be produced and be reliably amplified into action potentials, initiating a muscle contraction.
