Estudio de la función de los factores de transcripción PBX en la diferenciación a neurona dopaminérgica del bulbo olfatorio de ratón
[EN] Dopamine signalling regulates a variety of complex behaviours and defects in dopaminergic neuron function or survival result in severe human pathologies such as Parkinson´s disease. All dopaminergic neurons are characterized by the expression of a battery of genes that code for a set of proteins required for the synthesis, release and re-uptake of dopamine and all together are called the DA pathway genes. Therefore, understanding how this set of genes are transcriptionally activated in a coordinated manner is the first step to discover the clues of dopaminergic terminal differentiation. The dopamine pathway genes are highly conserved throughout evolution. Studies in the nematode C.eleg…
