| Research Abstract |
We reported that the loss of Cadm1, one of the autism-related gene, caused decreased social ability, anxiety and aggression. The cells expressed mutated CADM1 protein showed the aberrant and aborted extension of neuronal spikes and the decreased synaptogenesis. We also detected that the mutated CADM1 expressing cells showed the activation of CHOP and beclin, that suggest the activation of ER stress in the cells.
