Abstract excerpt
Bcl-2-associated athanogene-1 (BAG1) is a multifunctional protein delivering chaperone-recognized unfolded substrates to the proteasome for degradation. It has been shown to be essential for proper CNS development in vivo, playing a crucial role in neuronal survival and differentiation. With regard to Huntington's disease, a sequestration of BAG1 into inclusion bodies and a neuroprotective effect in double...
