Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n FAM151A is a member of the conserved FAM151 family, which is homologous to the C. elegans menorin gene that plays a role in sensory dendrite morphogenesis. In worms, menorin functions as a short‐range, contact‐dependent cue to direct the elaboration of complex dendritic arbors, thereby contributing to proper neuronal connectivity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In mammals, two homologues exist: Fam151a and Fam151b. Studies in mice demonstrate that loss of Fam151b results in early retinal degeneration and loss of photoreceptor function, whereas knockout of Fam151a yields no discernible phenotype. Moreover, sequence analysis indicates that both FAM151 proteins belong to the PLC‐like phosphodiesterase superfamily, although their precise substrates and biochemical roles remain undefined."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Yehuda Salzberg, Carlos A Díaz-Balzac, Nelson J Ramirez-Suarez, et al.
