Activin A and follistatin expression in developing targets of ciliary ganglion neurons suggests a role in regulating neurotransmitter phenotype.

Neuron - 1 Oct 1995

Darland D C, Link B A, Nishi R

Abstract excerpt

The avian ciliary ganglion contains choroid neurons that innervate choroid vasculature and express somatostatin as well as ciliary neurons that innervate iris/ciliary body but do not express somatostatin. We have previously shown in culture that activin A induces somatostatin immunoreactivity in both neuron populations. We now show in vivo that both targets contain activin A; however, choroid expressed higher...
