Axonal Transport of Mutant Superoxide Dismutase 1 and Focal Axonal Abnormalities in the Proximal Axons of Transgenic Mice

Axonal Transport of Mutant Superoxide Dismutase 1 and Focal Axonal Abnormalities in the Proximal Axons of Transgenic Mice

Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), a ubiquitously expressed enzyme, detoxifies superoxide radicals and participates in copper homeostasis. Mutations in this enzyme have been linked to a subset of autosomal dominant cases of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), a disorder characterized by selec...
