Descriptor células PC12
Entry term(s) línea celular del feocromocitoma
Scope note: Línea celular derivada de un feocromocitoma de la médula suprarrenal de la rata. Las células PC12 detienen su división y experimentan una diferenciación terminal cuando se les tratan con el factor de crecimiento nervioso, lo que hace que la línea sea un sistema modelo útil para el estudio de la diferenciación neuronal.

Scope note: A CELL LINE derived from a PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA of the rat ADRENAL MEDULLA. PC12 cells stop dividing and undergo terminal differentiation when treated with NERVE GROWTH FACTOR, making the line a useful model system for NERVE CELL differentiation.
