NERVE growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor responsible for the differentiation and survival of sympathetic and sensory neurons as well as selective populations of cholinergic neurons1,2. NGF binds to specific cell-surface receptors but the mechanism for transduction of the neurotrophic signal is unknown. Several experiments using the NGF-responsive pheochromocytoma cell line, PC12, have implicated tyrosine phosphorylation in NGF-mediated responses, although no NGF-specific tyrosine… CONTINUE READING
