p62, the Receptor for Selective Autophagy, Contributes in ATXN3 Aggregate Formation in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
2024-03-07
Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 is a neurodegenerative disease caused by an abnormal expansion of CAG repeats in the disease gene ATXN3, leading to prolonged polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts in the respective protein ataxin-3. The polyQ-expanded protein forms polyQ-containing aggregates in several brain regions which leads to neuronal cell loss. Autophagy is thought to play a significant role in clearing these polyQ-con...
