    PTBP1 Regulates Injury Responses and Sensory Pathways in Adult Peripheral Neurons

    Researchers found that both polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) and PTBP2 proteins were coexpressed in adult sensory and motor neurons, with PTBP2 restricted mainly to the nucleus, while PTBP1 also showed axonal localization.
