Abstract excerpt
Evidence suggests that NMDA receptor-mediated neurotoxicity plays a role in the selective neurodegeneration underlying Huntington's disease (HD). The gene mutation that causes HD encodes an expanded polyglutamine tract of >35 in huntingtin, a protein of unknown function. Both huntingtin and NMDA...
