Expression of Neuro-p24 demonstrates function in neurite extension
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, February 13th, 2003
According to a study from Japan, "process extension is a most marked and characteristic neuronal feature that is observed during the development, regeneration and plasticity of nervous system tissues. Neuro-p24, a novel membranous protein with a molecular weight of 24 kDa, is specifically localized in neurons, particularly in the neurites. Based on its molecular structure and distribution pattern in the brain we proposed that Neuro-p24 plays a role in neurite extension."
"In the present study we have made several findings that support this hypothesis; first, Neuro-p24 was abundant in motor axonal fibers, neurites of dorsal root ganglia neurons and apical dendrites of...
