Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in exon 1 of the HD gene, and the expression level of either normal or mutant huntingtin is implicated in the pathogenesis of HD. However, a molecular base of the HD gene transcription has not been elucidated as yet. In this study, we identified two proteins, HDBP1 and HDBP2, which bind to the promoter region for the HD gene...
