Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons. 5 to 10% of the total cases of ALS are familial and the remainder, sporadic. The human gene VAPB encodes the VAPB protein, which is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and is probably involved in diverse cellular functions, including neurotransmission. This protein is associated t…
VAPB is a transmembrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) due to the presence of a transmembrane domains (TMD) in its C-terminal region, besides a MSP (Major Sperm Protein) domain in its N-terminal region. The mutation of a proline by a serine at the position 56 of the MSP domain is involved with the familial type 8 of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a neurodeg…
