1 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with paget's disease of the bone (PDB) and fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) or IBMPFD, is a rare multisystem degenerative disorder due to mutations in valosin containing protein (VCP). VCP is a ubiquitously expressed protein that facilitates the degradation of proteins via the ubiquitin proteasome and autophagy pathways. Affected brain and muscle tissue in IBMPFD have...
