Progranulin modulates zebrafish motoneuron development in vivoand rescues truncation defects associated with knockdown of Survival motor neuron 1
14 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progranulin (PGRN) encoded by the GRN gene, is a secreted glycoprotein growth factor that has been implicated in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. PGRN haploinsufficiency caused by autosomal dominant mutations within the GRN gene leads to progressive neuronal atrophy in the form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). This form of the disease is associated with neuronal...
