Regulation of specific functions of glial cells in somatic hybrids. II. Control of inducibility of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

摘要: Abstract Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) is induced when glial cells are exposed to hydrocortisone in vitro. In contrast, the enzyme activity fibroblasts not affected by steroid. an attempt elucidate mechanisms controlling inducibility, hybrids between and were studied. It was found that of does increase hydrocortisone. also shown inducibility noninduced controlled independently. Comparisons S-100 glycerol phosphate suggest all specialized functions characteristics coordinately controlled.
