NF-κB signaling

downin flies1

1 study
  1. casp inhibits NF-κB signaling in flies.

    “Caspar's ability to negatively regulate NFκB signalling is not dependent on the VAPB:Caspar interaction”

    Model organisms

    Caspar, an adapter for VAPB and TER94, modulates the progression of ALS8 by regulating IMD/NFκB-mediated glial inflammation in a Drosophila model of human disease

More on NF-κB signaling

Inflammation

downin flies1

1 study
  1. casp decreases inflammation in flies.

    “Caspar overexpression in the glia extends lifespan and also slows the progression of motor dysfunction in the ALS8 disease model, a phenomenon that we ascribe to its ability to restrain age-dependent inflammation”
