Abstract excerpt
The axotomy-inducible enzyme Nna1 defines a subfamily of M14 metallocarboxypeptidases, and its mutation underlies the Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) mouse. However, the relationship among its catalytic activity, substrate specificities, and the critical processes of neurodegeneration/axon regeneration is incompletely understood. Here we used a transgenic rescue strategy targeting expression of modified forms of...
