Identification and characterization of GFAPkappa, a novel glial fibrillary acidic protein isoform.

abstract：:Neuropsin and protease M/neurosin are serine proteases expressed by neurons and glial cells, and serve a variety of functions in the central nervous system (CNS). The current study demonstrates changes in the expression of these proteases following hemisection of the mouse spinal cord. Within unlesioned spinal cord, n...
