KIF1Bβ mutations detected in hereditary neuropathy impair IGF1R transport and axon growth

Abstract excerpt

KIF1Bβ is a kinesin-3 family anterograde motor protein essential for neuronal development, viability, and function. KIF1Bβ mutations have previously been reported in a limited number of pedigrees of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A) neuropathy. However, the gene responsible for CMT2A is still controversial, and the mechanism of pathogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we show that the receptor...
