The cellular mechanisms that maintain neuronal polarity

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 17, 611 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.100 Authors: Marvin Bentley & Gary Banker As polarized cells, neurons maintain different sets of resident plasma membrane proteins in their axons and dendrites, which is consistent with the different roles that these neurites have in electrochemical signalling. Axonal and dendritic proteins are synthesized together within the somatodendritic domain; this raises a
