Description

Introduction: Estrogen is one of the most important regulators of neuron function. There is a broad consensus that a loss of estrogen is associated with neurodegeneration in the hippocampus which leads to cognitive impairment. Hematopoietic-Pbx-interaction-protein (HPIP) is a novel scaffolding protein which interacts with microtubules and estrogen receptors. In this study, we investigated the presence and role of HPIP in hippocampal neurons and examined the relationship between estrogen receptors and microtubule damage in post-menopausal rat brains.
