Summary: Cofactor D is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state.

Title: [MOH SCREENING FOR TBCD IN COCHIN JEWS: COLLABORATION BETWEEN MEDICAL, RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN ACHIEVING PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS].
We present a detailed description of the neuropathology and MR imaging characteristics of a subset of these patients, adding insight into the phenotype of TBCD-related encephalopathy. The finding of a Faroese founder variant will allow targeted genetic diagnostics in patients of Faroese descent as well as improved genetic counseling and testing of at-risk couples.

Authors conclude that TBCD is a novel functional contributor to the mammalian cerebral cortex development, and that the pathological mechanism resulting from the mutations we describe is likely to involve compromised interactions with one or more TBCD-interacting effectors that influence the dynamics and behaviour of the neuronal cytoskeleton.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
