Annotation description: | WAVE3 over-expression decreases spine numbers in hippocampal neutrons (11-14DIV). 9/10/2017 Pim - Fig.4 WAVE3 is shown to localize to the edge of Rac-activity induced lamellipodia. - Fig.5 The F-actin content of WAVE3 transfected cells increases This shows that WAVE3 is also involved in actin related modifications. |
