Roles of CREB in the regulation of FMRP by group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in cingulate cortex
6 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome is caused by lack of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) due to silencing of the FMR1 gene. The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the central nervous system contribute to higher brain functions including learning/memory, mental disorders and persistent pain. The transcription factor cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) is involved in important...
