Abstract
In order to identify a factor demonstrating a repellent effect on axon extension of a neuron, lysophosphatidylglucoside (LPG) has been found to have an activity as a chemorepellent effect on axon guidance of a DRG sensory neuron specific to a neuron expressing TrkA, an NGF receptor. In addition, it has been found out that suppressing the function of LPG makes it possible to suppress a repellent effect of LPG on axon extension of a neuron expressing TrkA. A molecule capable of suppressing the function of LPG can be a composition promoting repairing of a neural circuit in neuronal damages and the like.
