Survival motor neuron (SMN) protein in rat is expressed as different molecular forms and is developmentally regulated
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a progressive degeneration of motoneurons in spinal cord and brainstem. The telomeric copy of a duplicated gene termed survival motor neuron (smn), which maps to chromosome 5q13, has been found to be deleted in most patients. The encoded gene product is a novel protein which recently has been shown to accumulate in specific nuclear...
