alanine and Oculopharyngeal Dystrophy

alanine has been researched along with Oculopharyngeal Dystrophy in 12 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a late-onset disease caused by an elongation of a natural 10-alanine segment within the N-terminal domain of the nuclear poly(A)-binding protein 1 (PABPN1) to maximally 17 alanines."1.38Polyalanine-independent conformational conversion of nuclear poly(A)-binding protein 1 (PABPN1). ( Hause, G; Kühn, U; Schwarz, E; Winter, R, 2012)
"Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease usually presenting in the 5th or 6th decades of life with a dominant inheritance pattern."1.37Two cases of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) with the rare PABPN1 c.35G>C; p.Gly12Ala point mutation. ( Hildebrand, GD; Hilton-Jones, D; Mansfield, D; Marks, S; Mechan, D; Ramsay, J; Robinson, DO, 2011)
