Disease relevance of KIAA1147
- Reviews of the literature support the view that melanomas arise in LCHN as well as other types of nevi and normal skin [1].
- Isolation and characterization of LCHN: a novel factor induced by transient global ischemia in the adult rat hippocampus [2].
- Taken together, these data suggest that LCHN could play a role in neuritogenesis, as well as in neuronal recovery and/or restructuring in the hippocampus following transient cerebral ischemia [2].
High impact information on KIAA1147
- The induction of LCHN in the hippocampus following ischemic injury may have functional consequences, as the ectopic over-expression of LCHN generated neurons with longer and more branched axons and dendrites [2].
- Although LCHN is highly conserved between rat, mouse, and human, the deduced amino acid sequence of LCHN does not possess significant homology to other known genes [2].
- The deduced amino acid sequence of the novel LCHN cDNA contains an open reading frame of 455 amino acids, encoding a protein with a predicted molecular mass of approximately 51 kDa [2].
- LCHN immunoreactivity is detected within the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, is also present on dendritic growth cones, but is not detected on astrocytes [2].
- In the meantime, each case should be treated individually, keeping in mind that especially in LCHN, it may be impossible to remove all melanocytes both in skin and in the CNS [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KIAA1147
- Using mRNA differential display to identify cerebral ischemia-responsive mRNAs, we isolated and cloned a cDNA derived from a novel gene, that has been designated LCHN [2].
- Antisense mRNA in situ hybridization and immunoblotting confirmed LCHN expression to be induced in the rat hippocampus following transient forebrain ischemia [2].
