Abstract excerpt
AIM: The NRG1-ERBB4 neurotransmitter signaling pathway plays a key role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SZ). The intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism rs707284 in ERBB4 links to PI3K-AKT suppression in SZ. Another protein indirectly affecting NRG1-ERBB4 signaling is β-secretase, which is encoded by the BACE1 gene, and activates NRG1 by proteolytic cleavage. In this study, we aimed to investigate the...
