Abstract excerpt
Heparin-binding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) is an extracellular matrix-associated protein with neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and which is suggested to be implicated in hippocampal synaptic plasticity. To study the functions of HB-GAM in adult brain we have produced HB-GAM overexpressing mice and compared phenotypic changes in the transgenic mice to those in the HB-GAM null mice. Both mutants were...
