Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR)) mediates neuronal death in response to neural insults by activating a caspase apoptotic pathway. The oligomeric state and activation mechanism that enable p75(NTR) to mediate these effects have recently been called into question. Here, we have investigated mutant mice lacking the p75(NTR) death domain (DD) or a highly conserved transmembrane (TM) cysteine...
