The Histochemical Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the last three decades it has become evident that in a wide variety of animals, the axonal compartment of neurons harbours a variety of RNA molecules, such as transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA and messenger RNA. In this paper data will be reviewed on the origin, the selective transport, subcellular localization and functional aspects of the occurrence of RNA molecules in the axonal domain.
