Protein kinase C activation decreases peripheral actin network density and increases central nonmuscle myosin II contractility in neuronal growth cones

PKC activation enhances myosin II contractility in the central growth cone domain while decreasing actin density and increasing actin network flow rates in the peripheral domain. This dual mode of action has mechanistic implications for interpreting reported effects of PKC on growth cone guidance an...
