Abstract excerpt
14-3-3 proteins are abundantly expressed in the brain, particularly neuronal tissue and are thought to serve multiple biological functions involved in neuronal development and cell growth and death. Recent studies have shown associations of 14-3-3 genes with neurodegenerative disorders based on their chromosomal linkage to these diseases and to regulatory functions for the nervous system. Although the role of...
