In this study, we investigated the activation of a new member of the focal adhesion kinase family of tyrosine kinases, the proline-rich tyrosine kinase, or PYK2, in platelets. We show that PYK2 is tyrosine phosphorylated and its activity is increased during early stages of platelet aggregation. This

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has therapeutic potential for treatment of the injured central nervous system. BDNF induces both differentiation and survival of neurons by binding to trkB receptors. This interaction stimulates the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of trkB, initiating a sig
A common feature of many tumors is an increase in glucose catabolism during tumor growth. We studied the mechanism of this phenomenon by using Ehrlich ascites tumor bearing mice as the animal model. We found that Ehrlich ascites tumor cells possess only glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and GLUT3 but no
