LITERATURE

c-Fos
-
activity of glucosylceramide synthase is around 5fold higher in presence of high c-Fos levels, induced by nerve growth factor NGF, addition of c-Fos mRNA ASO, which specifically blocks c-Fos expression abolished the induction of glucosylceramide synthase by NGF

or other exogenous phospholipid, required for activity
