TREM2 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

🔬 Protein Info
Gene Symbolent-gene-28e2cb01
TDP-43 aggregatesThe characteristic protein pathology in most ALS cases
SOD1 aggregatesMutant SOD1 proteins that cause familial ALS
FUS aggregatesLigand in FUS-linked ALS
Lipid debrisFrom degenerating motor neurons
Lipids and lipoproteinsTREM2 functions as a lipid sensor, binding oxidized lipids and lipoproteins that accumulate in neurodegeneration
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE)Particularly the ApoE4 isoform, which is associated with increased ALS risk
Apoptotic cell remnantsCellular debris from dying motor neurons
