General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function inhibition or down-regulation using small interference RNA inhibits dendritic development of Purkinje cells. In contrast, up-regulation of enzyme expression promotes dendritic arborization of Purkinje cells. Neuronal depolarization induced by high K+ or treatment with brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF promotes membrane association of Rac1 and dendritic development of Purkinje cells in cultured cerebellar slices. The effect of BDNF or high K+ is inhibited by inhibition or down-regulation of enzyme Rattus norvegicus
