Biochemical and genetic evidence for a role of IGHMBP2 in the translational machinery
19 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
The human motor neuron degenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is caused by loss of function mutations of immunoglobulin mu-binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2), a protein of unknown function that contains DNA/RNA helicase and nucleic acid-binding domains. Reduced IGHMBP2 protein levels in neuromuscular degeneration (nmd) mice, the mouse model of SMARD1, lead to motor neuron...
