It not only severely diminishes the quality of life of the patients, but also subjects them to increased risk of secondary medical conditions such as fall-induced injuries and various chronic diseases. However, no effective treatment is currently available to prevent or reverse the disease progression. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are emerging as a potential therapeutic target for diverse diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Their expression levels are altered in the patients and molecular mechanisms underlying the association between PRMTs and the diseases are being investigated. PRMTs have been shown to regulate development, homeostasis, and regeneration of both muscle and neurons, and their association to NMDs are emerging as well. Through inhibition of PRMT activities, a few studies have reported suppression of cytotoxic phenotypes observed in NMDs. Here, we review our current understanding of PRMTs\u2019 involvement in the pathophysiology of NMDs and potential therapeutic strategies targeting PRMTs to address the unmet medical need.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells11030364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]],"date-time":"2022-01-21T08:37:18Z","timestamp":1642754238000},"page":"364","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Protein Arginine Methyltransferases in Neuromuscular Function and Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7156-6974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinwoo","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Aging-Related Diseases, AniMusCure Inc., Suwon 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subin","family":"An","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea"},{"name":"Single Cell Network Research Center, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang-Jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Aging-Related Diseases, AniMusCure Inc., Suwon 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jong-Sun","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea"},{"name":"Single Cell Network Research Center, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4499","DOI":"10.1113\/JP271212","article-title":"The ageing neuromuscular system and sarcopenia: A mitochondrial perspective","volume":"594","author":"Rygiel","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
