Abstract excerpt
Ca(2+)-dependent activator protein for secretion 2 (CAPS2 or CADPS2) regulates dense-core vesicle (DCV) exocytosis. We found that CAPS2 is involved in the secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and that CAPS2 KO mice not only have deficits in neuronal development and survival but also exhibit abnormal behaviors, including impaired social interaction, hyperactivity, an...
