Rapsyn, a 43-kDa peripheral membrane protein encoded by the *RAPSN* gene, plays a critical role in clustering and stabilizing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). It is essential for synaptic transmission, ensuring proper muscle contraction by organizing AChRs into high-density clusters beneath motor nerve terminals. Rapsyn interacts directly with AChRs via its N-terminal coiled-coil domains and tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs), while its C-terminal RING-H2 domain mediates interactions with downstream signaling molecules like dystroglycan and cytoskeletal proteins.
Recombinant rapsyn protein is typically produced using expression systems such as *E. coli* or mammalian cells, enabling studies on its structure-function relationships. Its recombinant form retains the ability to self-associate and bind AChRs, making it invaluable for *in vitro* assays, structural studies, and drug screening. Mutations in *RAPSN* are linked to congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS), characterized by muscle weakness and fatigability. Recombinant rapsyn aids in elucidating pathogenic mechanisms, testing therapeutic interventions (e.g., chaperone drugs), and developing diagnostic tools for CMS.
Research also explores rapsyn's role beyond the NMJ, including potential functions in cancer and immune regulation. However, post-translational modifications (e.g., phosphorylation, palmitoylation) critical for its activity may require mammalian expression systems to ensure functional fidelity. Overall, recombinant rapsyn serves as a key tool for advancing neuromuscular biology and precision medicine.
