Stable expression in HEK-293 cells of the rat alpha3/beta4 subtype of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

abstract：:The mechanisms that underlie axon formation are still poorly understood. GSK3 has been recently implicated in establishing the axon and in its elongation. We have used four different GSK3 inhibitors to determine the role of GSK3 activity in hippocampal neurons at different periods of time. Inhibition of GSK3 activity ...
