Abstract:
In rodents, the Ras-specific guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (Ras-GRF) is expressed in different areas of the brain and, at a reduced level, also in the spinal cord. No expression of the 140 kDa Ras-GRF was detected in dorsal root ganglia and all other tissues tested. Analysis of primary cultures derived from brain reveals that this exchange factor is only present in neurons of the central nervous system. In primary hippocampal cultures, the expression of Ras-GRF increases in parallel with the onset of a neuronal network and in the whole brain it increases sharply after birth.
