Abstract excerpt
Induction of neurite outgrowth by treating pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells) with nerve growth factor (NGF) is associated with major increases in cellular levels of diacylglycerol (DAG), an essential and probably limiting precursor in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) syntheses. To identify the sources of this DAG we examined the effects of NGF treatment on the conversion of [3H]oleic...
