Abstract excerpt
Hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP), which enhances acetylcholine synthesis and induces cholinergic phenotype development of the septohippocampal system, is derived from HCNP precursor protein (HCNPpp), also known as phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP) and Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP). Our previous study demonstrated that expression of HCNPpp mRNA was decreased in the...
