STOP protein. Neurons contain abundant subsets of highly stable microtubules that resist de-polymerising conditions such as exposure to the cold. Stable microtubules are thought to be essential for neuronal development, maintenance, and function. STOP is a major factor responsible for the intriguing stability properties of neuronal microtubules and is important for synaptic plasticity. Additionally knowledge of STOPs function and properties may help in the treatment of neuroleptics in illnesses such as schizophrenia, currently thought to result from synaptic defects.
