Abstract excerpt
Filopodia sense the extracellular environment and direct movement in many cell types, including neurons. Recent reports suggest that the transmembrane form of the widely expressed proteoglycan agrin (TM-agrin) regulates formation and stability of neuronal filopodia. In order to elucidate the mechanism by which TM-agrin regulates filopodia, we investigated the role of agrin's glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains in the...
