Abstract excerpt
In Galpha(z)-deficient mice, survival of sympathetic neurons is significantly attenuated in the presence of pertussis toxin (PTX). This suggests that G(i/o) proteins may have distinct roles in neuronal survival. Here, we investigated the possible involvement of G(i/o) proteins in nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced pro-survival phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells....
