Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the N-terminus of huntingtin (HTT). Mutant HTT (mHTT) undergoes misfolding and tends to aggregate, yet these aggregates are not effectively cleared by autophagy thus contributing to neurotoxicity in HD. The polyQ length of HTT in patients with HD varies from 40 to > 90; however, the p...
