Impaired motor unit recovery and maintenance in a knock-in mouse model of ALS-associated Kif5a variant
8 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) is an essential, neuron-specific microtubule-associated motor protein responsible for the anterograde axonal transport of various cellular cargos. Loss of function variants in the N-terminal, microtubule-binding domain are associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia and hereditary motor neuropathy. These variants result in a loss of the ability of the mutant protein to process...
