Fidgetin-like 2 is a novel negative regulator of axonal growth and can be targeted to promote functional nerve regeneration after injury
2020-03-20
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton plays a critical role in axon growth and guidance. Here, we identify the MT severing enzyme fidgetin-like 2 (FL2) as a negative regulator of axonal regeneration and a potential therapeutic target for promoting neural regeneration after injury. Genetic knockout of FL2 in cultured adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons resulted in longer axons and attenuated growth cone retraction...
