Dramatic sex differences leading to different brain disease presentation: The requirement for sex-specific medications with ADNP/davunetide as a case study.
Focusing on the brain-essential gene revealed in our laboratory, activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) and its neuroprotective site, the investigational drug davunetide (NAP), we discuss ADNP regulating steroid hormone biosynthesis and sex chromosome genes coupled with sex-dependent shuttling between the nu...
