What are the Pathological Implications of Parvalbumin?
Abnormalities in parvalbumin expression or function can lead to various pathological conditions. Reduced levels of parvalbumin have been associated with impaired muscle relaxation and certain neurological disorders. For instance, a decrease in parvalbumin-expressing interneurons has been observed in the brains of patients with schizophrenia, suggesting a potential role in the pathophysiology of the disease.
