J Neurosci 25:539-49. 2005
..CT-1, however, follows a strict degradation pathway after retrograde transport to the soma. Synaptic and transcytotic trafficking thus are restricted to particular neurotrophic factors such as GDNF and BDNF...

Rafal Butowt
Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, University of Nevada, School of Medicine, Reno, Nevada, USA
J Neurosci Res 85:2567-79. 2007
..These data indicate that the N-terminal half of chicken PrP(c) contains the necessary information to drive the internalization and subsequent sorting of extracellular PrP(c) in RGCs soma into the anterograde axonal transport pathway...
