Autophagy Function and Benefits of Autophagy Induction in Models of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
14 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: gene. The presence of this genetic expansion results in an ataxin-3 protein containing a polyglutamine repeat region, which renders the ataxin-3 protein aggregation prone. Formation of ataxin-3 protein aggregates is linked with neuronal loss and, therefore, the development of motor deficits. METHODS: Here, we investigated whether the autophagy protein quality control pathway, which is important in the...
