Neuronal-Specific Roles of the Survival Motor Neuron Protein
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Despite recent data on the cellular function of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) disease gene, the role of the SMN protein in motor neurons and hence in the pathogenesis of SMA is still unclear. The spatial and temporal expression of SMN in neurons, particularly during development, could help in verifying the hypotheses on the SMN protein functions so far proposed. We have...
