Constitutive Expression of GAP-43 Correlates with Rapid, but Not Slow Regrowth of Injured Dorsal Root Axons in the Adult Rat

It has been postulated that the neuronal growth-associated protein GAP-43 plays an essential role in axon elongation. Although termination of developmental axon growth is generally accompanied by a decline in expression of GAP-43, a subpopulation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons retains constit...
