The Rac activator DOCK7 regulates neuronal polarity through local phosphorylation of stathmin/Op18.

The polarization of a neuron generally results in the formation of one axon and multiple dendrites, allowing for the establishment of neuronal circuitry. The molecular mechanisms involved in priming one neurite to become the axon, particularly those regulating the microtubule network, remain elusive...
