## Abstract The ubiquitous existence of calciumβactivated neutral protease (CANP, calpain), an enzyme whose activity is regulated by calcium ions and a specific endogenous CANP inhibitor (calpastatin), is well known. Although there has been much investigation concerning the distribution and role of
Neuropoietic cytokines, including ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), have survival effects on cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems (PNS and CNS). CNTF and LIF also produce differentiation in some cells of the PNS. We have shown previously that CNT
