MEK inhibitor U0126 reverses protection of axons from Wallerian degeneration independently of MEK-ERK signaling.

Wallerian degeneration is delayed when sufficient levels of proteins with NMNAT activity are maintained within axons after injury. This has been proposed to form the basis of 'slow Wallerian degeneration' (Wld (S)), a neuroprotective phenotype conferred by an aberrant fusion protein, Wld(S...
