S100B	Gallus gallus (chicken)	biochemical evidence of involvement in neurite extension: Recombinant bovine S100B was found to stimulate neurite outgrowth and enhance cell maintenance in cultures of chick embryonic cerebral cortex neurons. This effect is reduced if the neurons are preincubated with anti-S100B antibodies.		Melanie R. Nelson The Scripps Research Institute, Department of Molecular Biology mnelson@scripps.edu	Melanie R.
