1 study
  1. HKDC1 improves memory and learning in mice.

    “We observed age-dependent anxiety, compromised memory and learning, senescence, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial function deficit in HKDC1-brain knockout mouse models.”

TFEB

upin mice1

1 study
  1. TFEB activates HKDC1 in mice.

    “age-related decline in HKDC1 expression stems from changes in chromatin conformation, which decrease the ability of transcription factor EB to regulate its transcription.”
