The neuronal RNA-binding protein Ptbp2 is known to regulate neuronal differentiation by modulating alternative splicing. Here, the authors reveal an additional role of cytosolic Ptbp2, which regulates axon growth by fine-tuning the mRNA transport and local synthesis of an RNA-binding protein hnRNP R.
