Abstract
▶ The epithelial membrane protein 1 (EMP1) plays a role in neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth. ▶ Decreased neurogenesis is involved in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD). ▶ EMP1 mRNA levels are reduced in the leukocytes of MDD patients as compared to controls. ▶ The EMP1 genotype exhibited a significant association between male MDD patients and male controls. ▶ EMP1 may be implicated in the pathophysiology of MDD.
