Abstract excerpt
Axon growth inhibitors such as Nogo proteins, myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMgp), and B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) commonly bind to Nogo receptor-1 (NgR1), leading to enormous restriction of functional recovery after damage to the adult central nervous system. Recently, we found that lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS) antagonizes NgR1-mediated Nogo...
