Oncostatin M induces hyperalgesic priming and amplifies signaling of cAMP to ERK by RapGEF2 and PKA.
Title: Oncostatin M induces hyperalgesic priming and amplifies signaling of cAMP to ERK by RapGEF2 and PKA.
Following cAMP elevation, neuritogenic cyclic AMP sensor/Rapgef2 is activated for signaling to ERK to mediate neuritogenesis, whereas Epac2 is activated for signaling to the MAP kinase p38 to mediate growth arrest.
Title: Separate cyclic AMP sensors for neuritogenesis, growth arrest, and survival of neuroendocrine cells.
Data indicate that knockdown of Rapgef2 ablates cAMP-dependent ERK activation and neuritogenesis in neuronal cell line Neuroscreen-1 (NS-1).
Title: Rapgef2 connects GPCR-mediated cAMP signals to ERK activation in neuronal and endocrine cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
