Tree Number(s): A11.251.210.190.750; A11.251.860.180.750; A11.299.500
Unique ID: D016716
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016716
Annotation: PC stands for PheochromoCytoma; almost always NIM with no subheadings; check ANIMAL; & RATS; do not routinely add PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA or ADRENAL GLAND NEOPLASMS
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.
