Dystonic-like behavior

upin mice1

1 study
  1. KCNN1 improves dystonic-like behavior in mice (onset delayed to 12 to 16 mo).

    “altered presentation from rapidly progressive dystonic-like behavior of the limbs to a later-onset (12 to 16 mo) and slowly progressive lower limb clasping”

    Neuronal overexpression of Kcnn1 in A53T α-synuclein mice suppresses phospho-serine 129 α-synuclein formation and doubles survival time

Phospho-serine 129 α-synuclein

downin mice1

1 study
  1. KCNN1 decreases phospho-serine 129 α-synuclein in mice.

    “accretion of disease-associated phospho-serine 129 α-synuclein was prevented by overexpression of Thy1.2-driven Kcnn1 in many brain regions/spinal cord”

  1. KCNN1 extends lifespan in mice (from 8.5 to 18 mo).

    “Kcnn1 overexpression increased median survival of these mice from 8.5 to 18 mo”
