RALBP1 in Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease

The purpose of our study is to understand the role of the <i>RALBP1</i> gene in oxidative stress (OS), mitochondrial dysfunction and cognition in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. The <i>RALPB1</i> gene encodes the 76 kDa protein RLIP76 (Rlip). Rlip functions as a stress...
