A neural tetraspanin, encoded by late bloomer, that facilitates synapse formation.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 29 Mar 1996

Kopczynski C C, Davis G W, Goodman C S

Abstract excerpt

Upon contacting its postsynaptic target, a neuronal growth cone transforms into a presynaptic terminal. A membrane component on the growth cone that facilitates synapse formation was identified by means of a complementary DNA-based screen followed by genetic analysis. The late bloomer (lbl) gene in Drosophila encodes a member of the tetraspanin family of cell surface proteins. LBL protein is transiently expressed...
