Neuronal and glial cells in primary culture prepared from the hypothalamic-brain stem areas of one-day-old rat brains were analyzed for the presence of angiotensinogen messenger RNA (mRNA) to further confirm our previous conclusion that the brain contains an exclusive angiotensin system. Angiotensin
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) bind to GFR alpha-1 and GFR alpha-2 receptors, respectively, and their neurotrophic activity is mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptor, Ret. All these molecules were found to be expressed in primary cultures of rat glial cells,
