Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron degeneration. Peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase A (PPIA) is a molecular chaperone involved in protein folding, and its dysfunction has been linked to ALS pathogenesis, as proline is recognized as a key residue for maintaining proper folding of ALS-related proteins. A recent study identified a K76E...
