Role of TFEB in Huntington’s Disease
4 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. This expansion leads to a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract at the N-terminal end of HTT, which reduces the solubility of the protein and promotes its accumulation. Inefficient clearance of mutant HTT (mHTT) by the proteasome or autophagy-lysosomal...
