TMEM55B promotes anterograde transport and distal axonal distribution of LAMP1-positive organelles
Lysosomal function throughout life is vital for the proper functioning and survival of post-mitotic neurons by mediating cellular signaling, degradation, and recycling processes. Their intracellular transport relies on microtubule-dependent mechanisms involving kinesin and dynein motors. While lysosomes were long thought absent from axons, recent studies have demonstrated the importance of…
