Partial rescue of some features of Huntington Disease in the genetic absence of caspase-6 in YAC128 mice

Partial rescue of some features of Huntington Disease in the genetic absence of caspase-6 in YAC128 mice

Huntington Disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by an elongated CAG repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene that encodes a polyglutamine tract in the HTT protein. Proteolysis of the mutant HTT protein (mHTT) has been detected in human and murine HD brains and is implicated in t...
