Description

STOP is described as calmodulin-regulated but the specific regulatory mechanisms and how calmodulin modulates STOP’s microtubule-stabilizing activity remain unexplained. This gap limits understanding of calcium-dependent cytoskeletal regulation in neurons.

Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: STOP proteins. (1999, Cell structure and function, PMID:15218867)
