Crym-positive striatal astrocytes gate perseverative behaviour.
Title: Crym-positive striatal astrocytes gate perseverative behaviour.
results suggest that CRYM deficiency leads to obesity and lipogenesis, possibly in part through increasing the food intake of mice fed a high-fat diet.
Title: Loss of μ-crystallin causes PPARγ activation and obesity in high-fat diet-fed mice.
The results demonstrated that Crym is a crucial regulator of muscle plasticity, controlling metabolic and contractile properties of myofibers, and thus the selective inactivation of Crym may be a potential therapeutic target for muscle-wasting diseases.
Title: μ-Crystallin controls muscle function through thyroid hormone action.
Reduction of Crym expression in Huntington's disease (HD) could render striatal neurons more susceptible to mutant huntingtin suggesting that Crym may be a key determinant of the vulnerability of the striatum.
Title: Loss of the thyroid hormone-binding protein Crym renders striatal neurons more vulnerable to mutant huntingtin in Huntington's disease.
CRYM expression increases and sustains the T3 responsiveness of genes in cells, especially with alteration of the pericellular T3 concentration.
Title: Cytosolic T3-binding protein modulates dynamic alteration of T3-mediated gene expression in cells.
Comparison of the apo and NADPH forms reveals a rearrangement of the protein upon NADPH binding that reduces the degrees of freedom of several residues and traps the conformation of the binding pocket in a more T3 competent state.
Title: Crystal structure of mouse mu-crystallin complexed with NADPH and the T3 thyroid hormone.
The expression of mu-crystallin was regulated through the AP-1 site in the promoter.
Title: Possible roles of the AP-1 site in the cytosolic T3 binding protein promoter and insights into its physiological significance.
CRYM plays an important role in the development of the second peak of murine EIU.

Disruption of the CRYM gene decreases T(3) concentrations in tissues and serum without alteration of peripheral T(3) action in vivo.

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.
