Acetylcholine receptor antibodies

Acetylcholine receptor antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that mistakenly attack receptors on muscle cells responsible for transmitting nerve signals, leading to weakened muscle strength. These antibodies are often associated with myasthenia gravis, a condition where nerve signals don't efficiently reach muscles, causing fatigue and weakness, especially in the eyes, face, and throat. Detecting these antibodies helps diagnose and understand the condition, guiding appropriate treatment to improve muscle function and quality of life.
