proteína ataxina
proteína de la ataxia espinocerebelosa
Scope note: Una familia de proteínas predominantemente nucleares que regulan la transcripción de genes y la degradación de proteínas. La expansión de repeticiones del trinucleótido CAG en los genes que codifican Ataxinas se asocia con las ATAXIAS ESPINOCEREBELOSAS (AEC). En pacientes de AEC, el número de repeticiones de CAG se correlaciona con la gravedad de la enfermedad e inversamente correlacionada con la edad de aparición de la enfermedad.

Scope note: A family of predominantly nuclear proteins that regulate gene transcription and protein degradation. The expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats in genes that encode Ataxins is associated with SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIAS (SCA). In SCA patients, the number of CAG repeats correlates with the severity of disease and inversely correlates with the age of disease onset.
