Highlights
This study is the first to examine HAP1-expression in dorsal root ganglia (DRG).
HAP1 is highly co-expressed with the markers of nociceptive/proprioceptive neurons.
HAP1 is completely lacking in the touch-sensitive DRG neurons.
HAP1 may play an important role in modulating nociceptive/proprioceptive functions.
It will be of great interest to clarify the pathophysiological role of HAP1 in DRG.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
