Etv4 regulates nociception by controlling peptidergic sensory neuron development and peripheral tissue innervation.

Journal article Development (Cambridge, England) · August 2022 The perception of noxious environmental stimuli by nociceptive sensory neurons is an essential mechanism for the prevention of tissue damage. Etv4 is a transcriptional factor expressed in most nociceptors in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) during the embryonic d ... Full text Cite

GDNF and GFRα1 Are Required for Proper Integration of Adult-Born Hippocampal Neurons.

Journal article Cell reports · December 2019 The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is required for the survival and differentiation of diverse neuronal populations during nervous system development. Despite the high expression of GDNF and its receptor GFRα1 in the adult hippocampus, ... Full text Cite

Mechanisms That Modulate and Diversify BDNF Functions: Implications for Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity.

Journal article Frontiers in cellular neuroscience · January 2019 Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that has pleiotropic effects on neuronal morphology and synaptic plasticity that underlie hippocampal circuit development and cognition. Recent advances established that BDNF function is controlled ... Full text Cite

Pea3 Transcription Factors, Etv4 and Etv5, Are Required for Proper Hippocampal Dendrite Development and Plasticity.

Journal article Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) · January 2018 The proper formation and morphogenesis of dendrites is essential to the establishment of neuronal connectivity. We report that 2 members of the Pea3 family of transcription factors, Etv4 and Etv5, are expressed in hippocampal neurons during the main period ... Full text Cite

Biochemical, biophysical, and functional properties of ICA512/IA-2 RESP18 homology domain.

Journal article Biochimica et biophysica acta · May 2016 BackgroundICA512 (or IA-2/PTPRN) is a transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase located in secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells. Previous studies implied its involvement in generation, cargo storage, traffic, exocytosis and recycling of ins ... Full text Cite
