Structural gene for beta-nerve growth factor not defective in familial dysautonomia.
The developmental loss of neurons in sympathetic, sensory, and some parasympathetic ganglia in familial dysautonomia suggests an inherited defect in the action of beta-nerve growth factor (beta-NGF). The role of this growth factor in dysautonomia has been difficult to resolve as there is no known source of authentic human beta-NGF. The availability of a cloned DNA probe for the human beta-NGF g...
متن کاملFamilial dysautonomia.
Familial dysautonomia is a rare syndrome of childhood affecting the nervous system. As the name suggests, dysfunction of the autonomic system is a prominent feature. It was first recognized as a separate entity by Riley, Day, Greeley and Langford (1949), the first large series being described by Riley (1952). So far, about 70 patients have been recorded. Though the fully developed syndrome is u...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes prolong the regulatory action of nerve growth factor on the endocannabinoid signaling
Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-CNTs complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. Based on the interplay between NGF and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), was investigated in the mechanis...
متن کاملFamilial Dysautonomia (FD)
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is an autosomal recessive congenital neuropathy which results from poor development and progressive degeneration of the nervous system. The mutation responsible for FD was found at the 5�ss of intron 20 of the IKBKAP gene, encoding the I?B kinase complex-associated protein (IKAP...
