Calretinin interacts with huntingtin and reduces mutant huntingtin‐caused cytotoxicity

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2012
AbstractHuntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats encoding for polyglutamine (polyQ) in the huntingtin (Htt) gene. Despite considerable effort, the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of the mutated Htt protein remains largely uncertain. To identify novel therapeutic targets,

Hunting Down Huntingtin

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Huntington's disease was the first disease whose causative gene (HTT) was mapped to a chromosome, and yet almost 30 years later, rational treatments do not exist. A recent study using a mouse model supports a strategy to knock down HTT RNA.

Normal Function of Huntingtin

2014
Huntingtin (HTT) is the 3,144–amino acid protein product of the Huntington’s disease gene (HTT), which can be traced back through 800 million years of evolution. It carries a trinucleotide CAG repeat that encodes polyglutamine (polyQ) at an evolutionarily conserved NH2-terminal position in exon 1. This chapter discusses the discoveries that have mapped

Huntingtin--Profit and Loss

Science, 2001
Huntington9s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by an expanded run of glutamine repeats in the huntingtin protein. How this glutamine expansion results in the selective loss of striatal neurons characteristic of HD is not known. In a Perspective, Trottier and Mandel discuss new findings demonstrating that loss of the beneficial ...
