Abstract excerpt
Although aggregates of mutant huntingtin are a pathological hallmark of Huntington's disease (HD), the role of inclusions in the pathogenesis remains inconclusive. Sequestration of CBP into mutant huntingtin has been reported to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of HD. However, whether aggregate formation of mutant huntingtin is necessary for the sequestration of CBP is not fully elucidated. In the...
