RALY Gene Feature: New Implications in Metabolism and Cholesterogenesis |
Aug 18, 2020 |
The heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family are multifunctional complexes of RNA and protein present in the cell nucleus that serve critical roles in gene regulation. Multiple lines of evidence have linked hnRNP abnormalities as key pathobiological drivers of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
