Health | The increased conformational flexibility of GIF may underlie its function as an inhibitory growth factor, as less flexible metallothionein proteins do not share this biological activity. (references) | |
Scientists at the University of Utah are studying the structural properties of a protein known as human neuronal growth inhibitory factor (GIF) (Faller et al., 1999). GIF inhibits survival and growth of cultured neurons and has been reported to be decreased in the postmortem brains of patients with AD. GIF is a member of a class of metallothionein proteins that bind and regulate metal ions within cells. (references) | ||
