Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of mutant aggregate-prone proteins is a hallmark of the majority of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases. Autophagy, a cytosolic bulk degradation system, is the major clearance pathway for several aggregate-prone proteins, such as mutant huntingtin. The autophagosome-associated protein LC3-II is a specific marker of autophagic flux within...
