GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.
Category:GO:0098522 ! neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle fiber
name: neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle fiber
namespace: cellular_component
def: "A neuromuscular junction in which the target muscle cell is a skeletal muscle fiber." [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.
