Tumor suppressor genes encode proteins involved in growth regulation in differentiating and proliferating cells. Previous work from our laboratory has demonstrated that the neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) tumor suppressor gene is dramatically upregulated in astrocytes stimulated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common genetic disorder caused by alterations in the tumor suppressor gene NF1. Clinical manifestations include various neural crest derived tumors, pigmentation anomalies, bone deformations, and learning disabilities. NF1 encodes the Ras specific GTPase activatin
