摘要: The genetic locus encoding KIBRA, a member of the WWC family proteins, has recently been shown to be associated with human memory performance through genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism screening. Gene expression analysis and variety functional studies have further indicated that such role is biologically plausible for KIBRA. Here, we review existing literature, illustrate connections between different lines evidence, derive models based on KIBRA’s function(s) in brain can tested experimentally.
