The developmental pattern of expression of the G protein α O subunit and GAP43 were compared by immunohistochemical staining of mouse embryos. Staining for α O and GAP43 was identical and detected throughout the developing nervous system, and the antigens first appeared in neurons at the beginning of neuronal differentiation. GAP43 and α O were not detected in regions containing only neuroblasts. These observations suggest that α O and GAP43 may not be required for the decision to pass from neuroblast to differentiated neuron, but may play a role in signal transduction during early neuronal development. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
