Cell Free Assay of TorsinA Activity - Dr. Rose Goodchild
After studing the maintenance of cells in a developed mammal, rearchers have linked several human diseases to the degenerative nature of particular cell types in the nuclear envelope. Localizing in either the main endoplasmic reticulum or the nuclear envelope, Torsion A's nuclear envelope funciton has shown to be important for neurons. Investigating this relationshpip between Torsion A and neural functions, Goodchild and her fellow colleagues have preducted DYT1 dystonia is caused by impapiremets of the nucleanr evenop function of torsion A.
