<i>C. elegans</i> huntingtin, <i>htt-1,</i> promotes robust autophagy induction and survival under stress conditions
2024-12-02
Abstract excerpt
Huntingtin (HTT) is the gene responsible for Huntington’s disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion mutation. While HD pathogenesis has traditionally been attributed to the toxic gain-of-function effects of mutant huntingtin (mHTT), increasing evidence underscores the critical role of wild-type HTT loss-of-function. Understanding the physiological roles of HTT is ess...
