Progressive motor and respiratory metabolism deficits in post-weaning Mecp2-null male mice.

Abstract excerpt

The methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2) gene encodes a nuclear transcriptional modulator highly expressed in post-mitotic neurons. Mutations of this gene cause a large spectrum of neurological disorders in humans. Several lines of mice harboring a constitutional deletion of Mecp2 are available. The use of these models is crucial to understand the basis of Mecp2-related pathologies. However, most of the studies...
