activins and Akinetic-Rigid Variant of Huntington Disease

activins has been researched along with Akinetic-Rigid Variant of Huntington Disease in 3 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Huntington disease is characterized by the selective loss of striatal neurons, particularly of medium-sized spiny glutamate decarboxylase67 staining/GABAergic projection neurons which co-contain the calcium binding protein calbindin."1.30Administration of recombinant human Activin-A has powerful neurotrophic effects on select striatal phenotypes in the quinolinic acid lesion model of Huntington's disease.
