Abstract excerpt
The myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate, or MARCKS protein, is a widely expressed, prominent substrate for protein kinase C. Although the exact function of MARCKS has not been elucidated, targeted disruption of the MARCKS gene (Macs) in mice has shown that MARCKS plays a crucial role in the development of the central nervous system. Mice deficient in MARCKS exhibited universal perinatal death with...
