Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are associated with degeneration of motor neurons in the disease, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Intracellular protein inclusions containing mutant SOD1 (mSOD1) are associated with disease but it is unclear whether they are neuroprotective or cytotoxic. We report here that the formation of mSOD1 inclusions in a motor neuron-like cell line (NSC-34)...
