Abstract: | Reelin is a conserved extracellular glycoprotein crucial for neurodevelopment. In adulthood, Reelin is an important modulator of NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission, required for synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Consequently, abnormal Reelin-mediated signaling has been associated with many human brain disorders involving directly or indirectly altered NMDA receptor function. For most neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, abnormalities during brain development appear central in the disease etiology. However, a similar causative relationship for neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's disease (AD), has not been investigated yet. |
