Interfering with Apoptosis: Ca 2+ -Binding Protein ALG-2 and Alzheimer's Disease Gene ALG-3

Vito, Pasquale, Lacaná, Emanuela, D'Adamio, Luciano·1996·Science

Abstract

Two apoptosis-linked genes, named ALG-2 and ALG-3 , were identified by means of a functional selection strategy. ALG-2 codes for a Ca 2+ -binding protein required for T cell receptor-, Fas-, and glucocorticoid-induced cell death. ALG-3 , a partial complementary DNA that is homologous to the familial Alzheimer's disease gene STM2 , rescues a T cell hybridoma from T cell receptor- and Fas-induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that ALG-2 may mediate Ca 2+ -regulated signals along the death pathway and that cell death may play a role in Alzheimer's disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
