Psychiatry related information on UTP11L

 

High impact information on UTP11L

  • Here we describe second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases/Diablo as a new interacting protein of CGI-94 (comparative gene identification-94) which itself is probably involved in degenerative processes of Alzheimer's disease [2].
  • Immunohistochemical analyses reveal that CGI-94 is mainly expressed in neurons of the hippocampal formation and the cortex but not in the cerebellar nucleus [1].
  • Transfection experiments with CGI-94 as a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion-protein show that this protein is translocated into the nucleus of the cell [1].
 

Biological context of UTP11L

  • Our findings that CGI-94 interacts with second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases/Diablo, inhibits nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth and that its neuronal expression leads to cell death point to its pivotal role in the control of cellular survival [2].
 

Anatomical context of UTP11L

  • Here we describe a new protein, CGI-94, that is down-regulated at the mRNA level in the hippocampus of early stage AD brain [1].
