may contribute to the potent anti-atherosclerotic effect of shear stress by preventing endothelial cells from entering apoptosis
Susceptibility
  • to Parkinson disease (not PARK3)
  • ton Alzheimer disease (AD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • mutation G399S and A141S increasing the risk of Parkinson disease (mutation associated with altered mitochondrial morphology)
  • a weak association of A141S with AD
  • Candidate gene

    is an attractive target for anti-colitis treatment
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • neurodegeneration and juvenile lethality in mnd2 (motor neuron degeneration-2) mice result from the missense mutation ser276 to cys (S276C) in the protease domain of the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial serine protease Omi
  • mice lacking Omi/HtrA2 exhibited progeria symptoms (premature aging)
