Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder resulting from a CAG repeat expansion in the first exon of the gene encoding the Huntingtin protein (Htt). Phosphorylation of this protein region (Httex1) has been shown to play important roles in regulating the structure, toxicity, and cellular properties of N-terminal fragments and full-length Htt. However, increasing evidence suggests that...
