Modulation of Increased mGluR1 Signaling by RGS8 Protects Purkinje Cells From Dendritic Reduction and Could Be a Common Mechanism in Diverse Forms of Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases which are caused by diverse genetic mutations in a variety of different genes. We have identified RGS8, a regulator of G-protein signaling, as one of the genes which are dysregulated in different mouse models of SCA...
