Overexpression of hippocalcin dramatically elongated neurites and increased the expression of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, that is, NeuroD without bFGF stimulation

These results suggest that the expression of hippocalcin mRNA and protein is strictly controlled by both the cell type and the developmental process and that hippocalcin plays a role in neuronal differentiation in the early stages of development and may relate to other neuronal function in the adult brain
