Co-regulation of survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein and its interactor SIP1 during development and in spinal muscular atrophy
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. The disease is caused by mutations of the survival of motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1), resulting in a reduced production of functional SMN protein. A major question unanswered thus far is why reduced amounts of ubiquitously expressed SMN protein specifically cause the degeneration of motor...
