Highly Potent Peptide Therapeutics To Prevent Protein Aggregation In Huntington’s Disease
2023-04-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder resulting from a significant amplification of CAG repeats in exon 1 of the Huntingtin (Htt) gene. More than 36 CAG repeats result in the formation of mutant Htt (mHtt) protein. These amino-terminal mHtt fragments lead to the formation of misfolded proteins, which then form aggregates in relevant brain regio...
