Mutation of human GRN, the gene encoding the secreted glycoprotein progranulin, results in
a form of frontotemporal lobar degeneration that is characterized by the presence of …

The purpose of this brief overview of the progranulin protein is to provide a sense of the
range and extent of the roles of progranulin in normal physiology and pathology …

GRN mutations cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43-positive inclusions.
The mechanism of pathogenesis is haploinsufficiency. Recently, homozygous GRN …

Progranulin (PGRN) is a multifunctional protein that has attracted significant attention in the
neuroscience community following the recent discovery of PGRN mutations in some cases …

Progranulin (PGRN) is a pleiotropic protein that has gained the attention of the neuroscience
community with recent discoveries of mutations in the gene for PGRN that cause …

Progranulin, a secreted glycoprotein, is encoded in humans by the single GRN gene.
Progranulin consists of seven and a half, tandemly repeated, non-identical copies of the 12 …

Loss-of-function mutations in the progranulin gene are a common cause of familial
frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of …

Progranulin is a highly conserved secreted protein that is expressed in multiple cell types,
both in the CNS and in peripheral tissues. Both directly and via its conversion to granulins …

Progranulin is a fascinating multifunctional protein, which has been implicated in cell growth,
wound repair, tumorigenesis, inflammation, neurodevelopment, and more recently in …

Progranulin (PGRN) is a secreted glycoprotein expressed in neurons and glia that is
implicated in neuronal survival on the basis that mutations in the GRN gene causing …
