Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The slow Wallerian Degeneration (Wld(S)) gene specifically protects axonal and synaptic compartments of neurons from a wide variety of degeneration-inducing stimuli, including; traumatic injury, Parkinson's disease, demyelinating neuropathies, some forms of motor neuron disease and global cerebral ischemia. The Wld(S) gene encodes a novel Ube4b-Nmnat1 chimeric protein (Wld(S) protein) that is...
