ER Stress and UPR in Familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
The primary mechanism by which mutations in Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) contribute to progressive motor neuron loss in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) remains unknown. Misfolded protein aggregates, ubiquitin-proteasome system impairment and neuronal apoptosis mediated by death receptor or mitochondrial-dependent pathways are implicated in mutant SOD1-induced toxicity. Recent evidence from...
