Neurocalcin Regulation of Dimorphic Brain Development
Description: Project Narrative Neurocalcin is a calcium binding protein whose expression in brain is altered in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or schizophrenia. The significance of this finding is not immediately clear, but suggests that neurocalcin is involved with the onset and/or progression of these ailments. Little is known about this protein, thus this proposal will further investigate neurocalcin, providing significant data that may lead to better knowledge of the cause and treatment for these diseases.
