abstract |
The present invention relates to a novel gene alivin1 which plays an important role in the survival of nerve cells, which suppresses apoptosis of nerve cells, and a protein encoded by the gene and a pharmaceutical composition containing them. The present invention relates to a mutant alivin1 gene and a mutant Alivin1 protein encoded by the gene. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing the gene and protein of the present invention for suppressing apoptosis of nerve cells. [Effect] Since it was concluded that the gene of the present invention is a gene related to Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be used for these diseases.
