Natural N-terminal fragments of brain abundant myristoylated protein BASP1.

BASP1 (also known as CAP-23 and NAP-22) is a novel myristoylated calmodulin-binding protein, abundant in nerve terminals. It is considered as a signal protein participating in neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. BASP1 is also present in significant amounts in kidney, testis, and lymphoid tissues.
