Elucidating the Biological Role of Neuronal Dystonin Isoforms in the Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Dystonia Musculorum

Dystonin is a cytoskeletal linker protein whose loss-of-function in dystonia musculorum (dt) mice results in a hereditary sensory neuropathy with profound sensory ataxia. The dystonin gene (Dst) is exceptionally large (~400 kb) producing three giant neuronal dystonin isoforms (>600 kDa) through a...
