Chromatin remodeler Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP) contributes to syndromic autism [PDF]
Background Individuals affected with autism often suffer additional co-morbidities such as intellectual disability. The genes contributing to autism cluster on a relatively limited number of cellular pathways, including chromatin remodeling.

Neuropeptide GPCRs in neuroendocrinology: The case of Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP) [PDF]
VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE (VIP): NEUROPROTECTION AND SYNAPSE FORMATION This review is a selected overview of the chosen subject. As, I have recently summarized my work on VIP (Gozes, 2008), I will describe here only selected topics focusing on the GPCR connection of the VIP-regulated protein, activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) (Gozes,

Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP)-Derived Peptide (NAP) Counteracts UV-B Radiation-Induced ROS Formation in Corneal Epithelium [PDF]
The corneal epithelium, the outermost layer of the cornea, acts as a dynamic barrier preventing access to harmful agents into the intraocular space. It is subjected daily to different insults, and ultraviolet B (UV-B) irradiation represents one of the ...

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) derived peptide NAP prevents musculoskeletal abnormalities in ovariectomized mice [PDF]
Estrogen is an essential hormone that critically impacts bodily and brain functions, supporting learning, memory, and motor activities. A decrease in estrogen levels is associated with cognitive decline and motor dysfunction, such as muscle weakness ...

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP): from autism to Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
We have originally discovered activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) as a major regulatory gene, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, essential for brain formation. Others found ADNP as a most frequent autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-associated gene.

A frameshift variant in activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) causes nucleocytoskeletal alterations in a dizygotic male twin: a case study [PDF]
Background The Helsmoortel-Van der Aa syndrome is an autosomal-dominant neurodevelopment disorder caused by heterozygous de novo variants in the Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP) gene, characterized by autism, intellectual disability ...

Background: Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) is essential for brain formation and neuronal survival. It is possible that intracellular alpha-synuclein ( α -syn) inclusions may be due to, or may cause, down-regulation of ADNP expression ...

Expansion of the clinical phenotype associated with mutations in activity-dependent neuroprotective protein. [PDF]
Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) is a highly conserved transcription factor comprised of nine-zinc finger domains and a homeobox domain.1 ,2 It is highly expressed prenatally during critical stages of embryonic brain development.3 Knockout (KO) mouse embryos demonstrate severe neurodevelopmental morphological profiles.4 Although the ...

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein deficiency models synaptic and developmental phenotypes of autism-like syndrome. [PDF]
Previous findings showed that in mice, complete knockout of activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) abolishes brain formation, while haploinsufficiency (Adnp+/-) causes cognitive impairments. We hypothesized that mutations in ADNP lead to a developmental/autistic syndrome in children.
