  • SBMA is a neuromuscular disease caused by expansions of a CAG microsatellite tandem repeat in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene located on the X chromosome. (bvsalud.org)
  • Spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is caused by CAG expansions in the androgen receptor gene. (bvsalud.org)
  • In addition to dopaminergic markers, sparse NeuroD6 neurons expressed the vesicular glutamate transporter 2 ( Vglut2 ) gene. (eneuro.org)
  • 2008. From synapse to nucleus: calcium-dependent gene transcription in the control of synapse development and function [J]. Neuron, 59 (6): 846-860. (zoores.ac.cn)
  • Additional analyses show that these neurons are masked by high-concentration pheromones. (jneurosci.org)
  • One possibility is that a high concentration of pheromones activates more neurons to reach the threshold of behavioral output. (jneurosci.org)
  • The best-characterised taste receptor repertoire is the Gustatory Receptor (GR) family, which are a divergent set of presumed heptahelical ion channels that function in the detection of sugars, bitter compounds and certain sex pheromones 3 , 13 . (nature.com)
  • Bradley and associates in 1986 proposed a classification scheme with three major types of receptors for serotonin, using pharmacological criteria and functional responses primarily in peripheral tissues [ 15 ]. (nih.gov)
  • This rewiring process provides a window into the development of the olfactory system and offers clues to the interdependence of an olfactory sensory neuron's molecular function and its effects on neural circuitry. (nih.gov)
  • In particular, we are looking at olfactory neural circuits that exhibit activity-dependent changes in connectivity. (nih.gov)
  • Clinicians and scientists have long been intrigued by the findings of olfactory disturbances and concomitant reproductive dysfunction. (medscape.com)
  • Given the connection between olfactory dysfunction and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease, our work also maintains a strong translational focus. (nih.gov)
  • First, expression of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) was ablated to disrupt dopaminergic function in NeuroD6 VTA neurons. (eneuro.org)
  • The symptoms-resting tremor, rigidity, slow movement, and postural instability-are caused by the degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. (nih.gov)
  • We are collaborating with other laboratories at NIH and elsewhere to explore the pathogenic processes of synuclein and LRRK2 in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. (nih.gov)
  • The hormone is composed of 9 amino acids and is synthesized in the neurons of the paraventricular and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus, followed by release through the posterior pituitary gland. (umbrellalabs.is)
  • Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) regulate cellular processes by converting signals from your extracellular environment to the cytoplasm and nucleus. (biotech2012.org)
  • Extracellular signals modulate and regulate the function of cells that participate in immune responses. (nih.gov)
  • Of these, the most thoroughly understood are the 17 receptors expressed in the adult antenna. (nature.com)
  • In platelets, the activation of TAM receptors as well as the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor (P2Y12) network marketing leads towards the phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) and Akt, leading to persistent activation from the fibrinogen receptor integrin IIb3 and resulting in thrombogenesis and platelet stabilization.
