Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence indicates that the accumulation and aggregation of mutant Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (mutSOD1) in spinal cord mitochondria is implicated in the pathogenesis of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Although the mechanisms underlying this effect are only partially understood, a deficit in the import mechanism of mutSOD1 and/or in its folding and maturation inside mitochondria is likely...
