Neuregulin-1 alpha, the underestimated molecule: emerging new roles in normal brain function and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia?

Genome. 2013 Nov;56(11):703-4. doi: 10.1139/gen-2013-0171. Epub 2013 Nov 5.

Abstract

We comment here, from a schizophrenia research perspective, on a recent paper of Ghahramani Seno et al., which clearly shows that the splice variant neuregulin-1 alpha is able to regulate multiple genes involved in phosphorylation, acetylation, and generation of splice variants.
