Loss of function of the ALS protein SigR1 leads to ER pathology associated with defective autophagy and lipid raft disturbances
12 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
Intracellular accumulations of altered, misfolded proteins in neuronal and other cells are pathological hallmarks shared by many neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutations in several genes give rise to familial forms of ALS. Mutations in Sigma receptor 1 have been found to cause a juvenile form of ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). We recently described...
