Characterization of Ighmbp2 in motor neurons and implications for the pathomechanism in a mouse model of human spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1).

Abstract excerpt

Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is caused by recessive mutations of the IGHMBP2 gene. The role of IGHMBP2 (immunoglobulin mu-binding protein 2) in the pathomechanism of motor neuron disease is unknown. We have generated antibodies against Ighmbp2 and showed that low levels of Ighmbp2 immunoreactivity are present in the nucleus of spinal motor neurons and high levels in cell...
