Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAPB) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder. The VAPB gene is mapped to chromosome number 20 and can be found at cytogenetic location 20q13.33 of the chromosome. VAPB is seen to play a significant role in the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is a process that suppresses the accumulation of unfolded...
