Tissue transglutaminase contributes to disease progression in the R6/2 Huntington's disease mouse model via aggregate‐independent mechanisms
9 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an expansion of CAG repeats within the huntingtin gene and is characterized by intraneuronal mutant huntingtin protein aggregates. In order to determine the role of tissue transglutaminase (tTG) in HD aggregate formation and disease progression, we cross-bred the R6/2 HD mouse model with a tTG knockout mouse line. R6/2 mice that were tTG heterozygous knockouts (R6/2 :...
