Abstract excerpt
Neurocalcin (NC) is a neuron-specific "EF-hand" calcium-binding protein present in a non-fully characterized subpopulation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, some kinds of mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors, and in motor end-plates. In the present study we have characterized NC expression in spinal sensory and motor neurons, and their endings in newborn mouse. Because the neurotrophic factor neurotrophin-3...
