An additional rationale for investigating Fabp7 was based on a recent report demonstrating that Fabp7 is upregulated in a mutant human superoxide dismutase 1 (hSOD1) mouse model of ALS and causes an NF-κB-driven inflammatory response that is damaging for motor neuron survival (78). The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
