(Adrenal Gland Neoplasms...) :
These studies suggest that nerve growth factor causes a decrease in the activity of calpain in morphologically differentiating PC12 cells by causing an increase in the activity of calpastatin
Chakrabarti et al., J Neurosci Res 1997
:
Removal of nerve growth factor (NGF) or cyclic adenosine monophosphate ( cAMP ) from tSc resulted in a smaller loss of mu calpain ( 37 % ) and mcalpain ( 36.5 % ) activity compared to treated cells from which the growth factors were not withdrawn ...
