Abstract excerpt
Expression of the RET proto-oncogene, a cell surface receptor for an as yet unknown ligand, is associated with tumors, tissues, and cell lines of neural crest origin. Accumulating evidence suggests that RET activity is involved in the process of neuronal differentiation. Moreover, induction of phenotypic differentiation of neuroblastoma cell lines is associated with the rapid accumulation of RET transcripts. To...
