Gigaxonin, mutated in Giant Axonal Neuropathy, interacts with TDP-43 and other RNA binding proteins
2024-09-05
Abstract excerpt
Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the KLHL16 gene, encoding the cytoskeleton regulator gigaxonin. In the absence of functional gigaxonin, intermediate filament (IF) proteins accumulate in neurons and other cell types due to impaired turnover and transport. GAN neurons exhibit distended, swollen axons and distal axonal degeneration, but the mechani...
