Abstract excerpt
Although the Gas3/PMP22 protein is expressed at highest levels in differentiated Schwann cells, its presence, albeit at lower levels, in non-neuronal tissues and in NIH-3T3 growth-arrested fibroblasts argues for a more general function of this protein that is uncoupled to myelin structure. We show that gas3/PMP22 overexpression in NIH-3T3 growing cells leads to an apoptotic-like phenotype, which is suppressed by...
