PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a pleckstrin homology (PH) responsible of and phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains in the N-terminal moiety, both of which are indispensable for MUSK activation in myotubes
	a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain target motifs in the C-terminal region, and a chromosome region maintenance 1-dependent nuclear export signal (NES) essential for regulating the interaction with MUSK in myotubes

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane,junction
text	concentrated at postsynaptic sites of the neuromuscular junction

basic FUNCTION	being essential for MUSK activation in cultured myotubes
	MUSK-interacting cytoplasmic protein, playing an essential role for neuromuscular synaptogenesis through its interaction with MUSK
	essential for maintaining not only the size but also the structural integrity of the end plate
	MUSK-interacting protein, essential for neuromuscular synaptogenesis, although the mechanisms by which DOK7 regulates MUSK activity and promotes synapse formation have been unclear
	positively regulates neuromuscular synaptogenesis by controlling MUSK activity, its distribution, and its responsiveness to neural agrin
	recruited by MUSK, and directly stimulates MUSK kinase activity, through its N-terminal region (

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	cytoplasmic activator of muscle-specific receptor-tyrosine kinase (MUSK)
	directly interacts with the cytoplasmic portion of MUSK and activates the receptor tyrosine kinase, and neural agrin requires DOK7 to activate MUSK
	interaction with CRK, and CRKL (critical role for CRK and CRKL downstream from DOK7 in presynaptic and postsynaptic differentiation)(
	cytoplasmic activator of the muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase MUSK
	DOK7, a cytoplasmic adaptor protein, is also required for MUSK activation 9)
	MUSK activation by DOK7 mildly affects the localization of MUSK on the cell surface but has no effect on the rate of MUSK internalization
	is essential for activation of the receptor kinase MUSK, which governs NMJ formation
	CSNK2A1 interacts at the neuromuscular synapse with RAPSN, RAC1, YWHAG, and DOK7 proteins and phosphorylates the latter two
