Abstract excerpt

The high molecular weight forms of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2a and b) play a central role in the specification of dendrites. RT-PCR amplification of a portion of the N-terminal and middle MAP2b domains of rat spinal cord cDNAs allowed identification of new variants containing both exo...
