Abstract excerpt
Valosin-containing protein (VCP) is a ubiquitously expressed type II AAA+ ATPase protein, implicated in both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This study aimed to explore the impact of the disease-causing VCPR191Q/wt mutation on mitochondrial function using a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered neuroblastoma cell line. Mitochondria in these cells are enlarged, with a depolarized...
