The invention provides a method for stimulating nerve growth which also , includes nerve regeneration by contacting nerve cells with human Neural Plakophilin Related Armadillo Protein (hNPRAP). In a specific embodiment hNPRAP causes the development of numerous long cellular extensions, which are , similar to axonal sprouting observed during neuronal regeneration and synapse formation. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an hNPRAP, or alternatively a gene therapy vector that expresses an hNPRAP. Also provided are methods for identifying substances that modulate expression of hNPRAP.
