Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) is a lysosomal disease that results in progressive loss of Purkinje neurons. Previous work has implicated dysregulation of glutamate signaling as a potential pathogenic mechanism. In this study, we explore the efficacy of AMPA receptor inhibition and the role of SLC1A6, a Purkinje neuron glutamate transporter, in NPC1 cerebellar pathology.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports is an open access journal that publishes molecular and metabolic reports describing investigations that use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology for studies of normal and diseased states. In addition to original research articles, sequence reports, brief communication reports and letters to the editor are considered.
