Abstract excerpt
Increased expression of syntaxin-6, a SNARE protein involved in intracellular protein trafficking, is a proposed genetic risk mechanism for sporadic prion disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, as well as being implicated in Alzheimer's disease. However, no study has validated its functional role in prion disease, its mechanism of action nor explored the disease stage at which it is acting. Here, we show...
