Abstract excerpt
X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the VMA21 gene, encoding a chaperone protein present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In yeast and human, VMA21 has been shown to chaperone the assembly of the vacuolar (v)-ATPase proton pump required for the acidification of lysosomes and other organelles. In line with this, VMA21 deficiency in XMEA...
