title: [Progress in Attractin gene].
abstract: Attractin, the research of which has flourished in recent years, is an autosomal recessive gene. The gene is widely expressed, and involved in a number of physiological and pathological events. This paper reviews the research development of the Attractin gene, including the characterization, expression, mutation, function and molecular mechanism of this gene. Besides, further research on the gene is also suggested.
