Abstract excerpt
Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (Nmnat) is a class of enzymes with three members (Nmnat1-3). Nmnat1 is in nucleus and associated with Leber congenital amaurosis, a form of early-onset retinal degeneration, while Nmnat2 is in cytoplasm and a well-characterized neuroprotective factor. The differences in their biological roles in the retina are unclear. We performed short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-based...
