Protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity associated with synaptosomal membrane glycoprotein (SMGP) fractions of rat brain was examined. The synthetic substrate poly(Glu,-Tyr) was phosphorylated by SMGP in the presence of Mg2+ and Mn2+, whose stimulatory effects were additive. In contrast, endogenous t

Ceramide is a sphingolipid that has been implicated both in apoptosis and protection from cell death. We show that in both rat cerebellar granule cells and cortical neuronal cultures application of C(2)-ceramide causes cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Similar effects were observed wi
Apoptosis is a mechanism of cell death that plays a fundamental role during the development of many tissues, including the central nervous system. Apoptosis has traditionally been distinguished in developing tissues on the basis of specific morphological criteria, including perinuclear chromatin con
