Abstract
A steady electric field of 30 mV across a single Xenopus laevis embryonic muscle cell produces accumulation of acetylcholine receptors toward 1 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.Keywords
