TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
caused developmental delay and with high penetrance a number of dysmorphic phenotypes, such as severely swollen yolk extension, slightly swollen telencephalon, blown-up blood island and, later in development, sharp kinks in body axes
constitutional germinal mutation     loss of function

Marker
  • APPL, APPL2-TGFBR1 complex may serve as a prognostic marker, in prostate cancer
  • Therapy target
    SystemTypeDisorderPubmed
    cancer  
    good candidate to target for the treatment of cancers caused by dysregulation of EGF signaling
    cancer  
    regulatory function of APPL1 on Akt signaling and its mediated substrate specificity discovered here may therefore render APPL1 a particularly interesting target for cancer therapy
    diabete  
    potential target for future treatments aimed at preserving or restoring glucose homeostasis
    diabetetype 1 
    promising target for treating type 1 diabetes
    diabete  
    may be a new therapy target for diabetic nephropathy
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Appl1 Tg mice exhibit improved peripheral metabolism, reduced cardiac lipotoxicity, and improved insulin sensitivity
  • Appl1 knockout mice exhibit glucose intolerance and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS)
