Chondrolectin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHODL gene.[5][6] Mouse chondrolectin is encoded by Chodl.[7]

Structure

[edit]

Chondrolectin is a type I membrane protein with a carbohydrate recognition domain characteristic of C-type lectins in its extracellular portion.[5][7] In other proteins, this domain is involved in endocytosis of glycoproteins and exogenous sugar-bearing pathogens.[8] This protein has been shown to localise to the perinucleus.[5][9][10]

Function

[edit]

The exact function of chondrolectin is unknown but it has been shown to be a marker of fast motor neurons in mice,[10] and is involved in motor neuron development and growth in zebrafish (Danio rerio).[11] Furthermore, human chondrolectin has been shown to localise to motor neurons within the spinal cord.[12]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Chondrolectin is alternatively spliced in the spinal cord of mouse models[13] of the neuromuscular disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which predominantly affects lower motor neurons.[12] Increased levels of chondrolectin in a zebrafish model of SMA results in significant improvements in disease-related motor neuron defects.[14]
