Vesicle trafficking is a common locus of the origin or manifestation of many human pathologies. Although nerve terminals obviously rely heavily on the careful orchestration of vesicle trafficking steps to sustain and modulate neurotransmission, all cells must have correct targetting and delivery of specific proteins to the cell surface or internal organelles.
The following is a list of either known or suspected diseases of vesicular traffic. Click on the disease to see the link (or potential link) to vesicle trafficking. Vesicle Trafficking Diseases Mad Cow Disease Atherosclerosis Type II Diabetes Alzheimer's Disease Cystic Fibrosis Griscelli Disease Retinitis Pigmentosa Choroideremia Polycystic Kidney Disease Hermansky-Pudlack Syndrome Chediak-Higashi Syndrome Williams Syndrome Hyperkinesis Liddle's Syndrome X-linked mental retardation Usher's Syndrome |
