Abstract excerpt
GH-3 is an established cell line which, for the production of both PRL and GH, may be related to the bipotential somatomammotroph from which both somatotroph and mammotroph cells derive. In the present study we first report that GH-3 cells express both the gp140trk and the gp75 components of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor and that NGF dictates a nonneuronal type of differentiation of this cell line of...
