Abstract excerpt
Familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of neuroserpin polymers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cortical and subcortical neurons in the CNS because of neuroserpin point mutations. ER-associated degradation (ERAD) is involved in mutant neuroserpin degradation. In this study, we demonstrate that two ER-associated E3 ligases,...
