Research Abstract |
We have examined whether and how phosphatidylethanolamine, a phospholipid consisting of the plasma membrane, is involved in neuronal morphogenesis. Our results indicated that the intramembranous movement (flip-flop movement) of phosphatidylethanolamine, which is induced by a type IV ATPase, controls neurite morphogenesis by organizing actin cytoskeleton in growth cones through the regulation of small G protein Cdc42.
