Abstract excerpt
The spontaneous autosomal recessive mouse mutant for hydrocephaly with hop gait (hyh) exhibits dramatic cystic dilation of the ventricles at birth and invariably develops hopping gait. We show that the gene for soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein alpha, also known as alpha-SNAP, is mutated in hyh mice. alpha-SNAP plays a key role in a wide variety of membrane fusion events in eukaryotic...
