Neurotrophic factor expression-inducing agent

摘要

The culture supernatant of COS cells expressing the PSEC56 gene was found to have a neurite extension effect. The main substance of the activity contained in this culture supernatant was revealed to be NGF. It was shown that PSEC56 can be utilized as a neurotrophic factor expression-inducing agent, and that the NGF induction system can be utilized for drug development against diseases of the nervous system.
