Abstract excerpt
Rac activation in neuronal cells plays an important role in lamellipodia formation that is a critical event for neuritogenesis. It is well known that the Rac activity is regulated via activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) by a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases. Here we show that increased serine phosphorylation on RET receptor tyrosine kinase following cAMP elevation promotes lamellipodia...
