Elevated SLC7A2 expression is associated with an abnormal neuroinflammatory response and nitrosative stress in Huntington’s disease
28 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
We previously identified solute carrier family 7 member 2 (SLC7A2) as one of the top upregulated genes when normal Huntingtin was deleted. SLC7A2 has a high affinity for L-arginine. Arginine is implicated in inflammatory responses, and SLC7A2 is an important regulator of innate and adaptive immunity in macrophages. Although neuroinflammation is clearly demonstrated in animal models and patients with Huntington's...
