CHRFAM7A Antibody

1. gp120IIIB promotes the downregulation of CHRFAM7A in neuronal cells. PMID: 26567012
2. Data show preferential fetal CHRFAM7A expression in the human prefrontal cortex and suggest abnormalities in the CHRFAM7A/CHRNA7 ratios in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, due mainly to overexpression of CHRFAM7A. PMID: 26206074
3. Data show that a 1 kb sequence in the untranslated regions of the alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7nAChR) gene CHRFAM7A that is modulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). PMID: 25681457
4. This association study was replicated in the NIA-LOAD Familial Study dataset. CHRFAM7A is a dominant negative regulator of CHRNA7 function, the receptor that facilitates amyloid-beta1-42 internalization through endocytosis and has been implicated in AD. PMID: 24787912
5. CHRFAM7A, a human-specific and partially duplicated alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene with the potential to specify a human-specific inflammatory response to injury. PMID: 25473097
6. the involvement of CHRFAM7A in the pathophysiology of the idiopathic generalized epilepsy and indication that c.497-498TG deletion or a nearby polymorphism in the CHRFAM7A gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease PMID: 24024466
7. lack of CHRFAM7A expression in ADNFLE patients might be an important factor in the pathogenesis of autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy PMID: 23553139
8. evidence on the association between variations in CHRNA7 or CHRFAM7A and the risk of dementia is still sparse and inconclusive. Further studies are needed to establish whether some polymorphisms may affect the probability of developing dementia [review] PMID: 22300029
9. the partially duplicated alpha7 nAChR subunit gene may specifically participate in the inflammatory response of the innate immune system. PMID: 20926142
10. 3-Mb map of 15q13-q14 showing that CHRFAM7A is part of a large segmental duplication in the opposite orientation to CHRNA7 and revealing several other duplications PMID: 11829490
11. Human mesothelioma cells and human biopsies of mesothelioma as well as of normal pleural mesothelial cells functionally express CHRNA7. PMID: 14729617
12. Results demonstrate that human and rat nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are senstive targets for volatile organic compounds in industrial products and are used in the risk assessment of these compounds. PMID: 15885267
13. CHRFAM7A was identified as a candidate gene in the D15S165 region in a study of allelic variants at chromosome 15q14 in schizophrenia. PMID: 16417613
14. These observations indicate that episodic memory function is a schizophrenia endophenotype and implicate the CHRFAM7A/CHRNA7 locus in modulating its function. PMID: 17012698
15. In persons with bipolar type schizoaffective disorder, CHRNA7 promoter region allelic variants are linked to the capacity to inhibit the P50 auditory evoked potential and thus are associated with a type of illness similar to schizophrenia. PMID: 17192894
16. In 20 smoking-matched people (n = 10 schizophrenia, n = 10 controls), we found significantly lower CHRFAM7A in cotinine and self-reported smokers versus nonsmokers (p PMID: 19082523
17. No significant associations of 2-bp deletion or CHRFAM7A copy number with antisaccade performance parameters were observed. PMID: 19149910
18. polymorphism of CHRFAM7A can be implicated in Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and Pick's disease PMID: 19641318
