Reversible Disruption of Dynactin 1-Mediated Retrograde Axonal Transport in Polyglutamine-Induced Motor Neuron Degeneration
22 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of a trinucleotide CAG repeat encoding the polyglutamine tract in the androgen receptor (AR) gene. To elucidate the pathogenesis of polyglutamine-mediated motor neuron dysfunction, we investigated histopathological and biological alterations in a transgenic mouse model of SBMA carrying human pathogenic AR....
