Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotrophin-3: a neurotrophic factor related to NGF and BDNF
Maisonpierre Peter C,Leonardo Belluscio,Stephen P. Squinto,Nancy Y. Ip,Mark E. Furth,Ronald M. Lindsay,George D. Yancopoulos +6 more
TL;DR: The distribution of NT-3 messenger RNA and its biological activity on a variety of neuronal populations clearly distinguishNT-3 from NGF and BDNF, and provide compelling evidence that NT- 3 is an authentic neurotrophic factor that has its own characteristic role in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
NT-3, BDNF, and NGF in the developing rat nervous system: parallel as well as reciprocal patterns of expression.
Maisonpierre Peter C,Leonardo Belluscio,Beth Friedman,Ralph F. Alderson,Stanley J. Wiegand,Mark E. Furth,Ronald M. Lindsay,George D. Yancopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: The observations are consistent with the idea that NT-3, BDNF, and NGF have paralleled as well as reciprocal roles in vivo, and do share one striking similarity--high level expression in the adult hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian neurotrophin-4: structure, chromosomal localization, tissue distribution, and receptor specificity.
Nancy Y. Ip,Carlos F. Ibáñez,Steven H. Nye,Joyce McClain,Pamela F. Jones,David R. Gies,Leonardo Belluscio,M M Le Beau,R. Espinosa,Stephen P. Squinto +9 more
TL;DR: A neurotrophin is isolated from both human and rat genomic DNA that appears to represent the mammalian counterpart of Xenopus/viper NT-4, which has many unusual features compared to the previously identified neurotrophins and is less conserved evolutionarily than the other neurotrophs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple and efficient non-organic procedure for the isolation of genomic DNA from blood
Journal ArticleDOI
Mice Deficient in Golf Are Anosmic
TL;DR: It is suggested that G olf is required for olfactory signal transduction and may also function as an essential signaling molecule more centrally in the brain.
