Description

The study shows LGI1-OPALIN binding leads to upregulation of Sox10 and Olig2 transcription factors, but the intracellular signaling cascade connecting receptor binding to transcriptional changes is unknown. Understanding this pathway is critical for developing targeted myelination therapies.
