Glial fibrillary acidic protein is greatly modified by oxidative stress in aceruloplasminemia brain.

Abstract excerpt

Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism caused by mutations in the ceruloplasmin (Cp) gene. The neuropathological hallmark of this disease is intracellular iron overload, which is thought to lead to neuronal cell death through increased oxidative stress. We evaluated and characterized protein oxidation in the brain of a patient with this disease. The protein carbonyl content in...
