NGF and proNGF regulate functionally distinct mRNAs in PC12 cells: an early gene expression profiling.

The biological activities of NGF and of its precursor proNGF are quite distinct, due to different receptor binding profiles, but little is known about how proNGF regulates gene expression. Whether proNGF is a purely pro-apoptotic molecule and/or simply a "less potent NGF" is still a matter...
