Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate effector domain peptide improves sex-specific recovery and axonal regrowth after spinal cord injury.

Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) is an intracellular receptor for polysialic acid. MARCKS supports development, synaptic plasticity, and regeneration after injury. MARCKS binds with its functionally essential effector domain (ED) to polysialic acid.
