Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that the guanine nucleotide exchange factor, RasGrf1, binds nerve growth factor (NGF)-activated TrkA and facilitates neurotrophin-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. RasGrf1 can activate both Ras and Rac, via intrinsic Cdc25 and DH domains, respectively, suggesting that the activation of both could contribute to this process. Previous studies have assayed constitutive neurite...
