Abstract excerpt
The polarized trafficking of axonal and dendritic proteins is essential for the structure and function of neurons. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK-5) and its activator CDKA-1/p35 regulate diverse aspects of nervous system development and function. Here, we show that CDK-5 and CDKA-1/p35 are required for the polarized distribution of neuropeptide-containing dense-core vesicles (DCVs) in Caenorhabditis elegans...
