Schematic model of RCAN1 signaling in AD-related progressive neurodegeneration. Exposure to chronic stressors during aging may cause RCAN1 protein to accumulate in the brain and promote mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive ROS levels. Oxidative damage from excess ROS over time may then trigger AD-related neurodegeneration.
