My research aims to better understand the role that fz2 cleavage plays in gamma-tubulin localization at branch points in the neuron. Prior research indicated that decreasing the amount of fz2 reduced the amount of localized gamma-tubulin, so my research is determining whether the cleavage is essential to this localization. I hypothesize that without gamma-secretase and thus the cleavage of Fz2, there will be a decrease in gamma-tubulin localization.
