Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which mutated copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) causes familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is believed to involve an adverse gain of function, independent of the physiological antioxidant enzymatic properties of SOD1. In this study, we have observed that mutant SOD1 (G41S, G85A, and G93A) but not the wild type significantly reduced the stability of the low molecular weight neurofilament...
