title: Neurite formation modulated by nerve growth factor, insulin, and tumor promoter receptors.
abstract: Until recently, nerve growth factor could be considered the only neurotrophic factor with an established physiological role. We discuss the emerging evidence indicating that the insulinlike factors may constitute a family of related neurotrophic proteins, and the observations suggesting that the receptor for the phorbol ester tumor promoters is closely associated with neuronal differentiation. The emphasis of the discussion is placed on neurite formation under multiple modulation by insulinlike factors, nerve growth factor, and tumor promoter receptors in sensory, sympathetic and human neuroblastoma cells.
