physiological function | mice lacking YME1L in the nervous system manifest ocular dysfunction with microphthalmia and cataracts and develop deficiencies in locomotor activity due to specific degeneration of spinal cord axons. Mitochondrial fragmentation occurs throughout the nervous system and does not correlate with the degenerative phenotype. Deletion of metalloprotease Oma1 restores tubular mitochondria but deteriorates axonal degeneration in the absence of YME1L | Mus musculus |
physiological function | YME1L-deficient mice manifest ocular dysfunction with microphthalmia and cataracts and develop deficiencies in locomotor activity due to specific degeneration of spinal cord axons, which relay proprioceptive signals from the hind limbs to the cerebellum. Mitochondrial fragmentation occurs throughout the nervous system and does not correlate with the degenerative phenotype. Deletion of metalloendopeptidase Oma1 restores tubular mitochondria but deteriorates axonal degeneration in the absence of YME1L | Mus musculus |
