Phosphacan short isoform, a novel non-proteoglycan variant of phosphacan/receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase-beta, interacts with neuronal receptors and promotes neurite outgrowth.

Abstract excerpt

Phosphacan, one of the principal proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix of the central nervous system, is implicated in neuron-glia interactions associated with neuronal differentiation and myelination. We report here the identification of a novel truncated form of phosphacan, phosphacan short isoform (PSI), that corresponds to the N-terminal carbonic anhydrase- and fibronectin type III-like domains and half...
