摘要: It has been more than 17 years since the causative mutation for Huntington's disease was discovered as expansion of triplet repeat in N-terminal portion Huntingtin (HTT) gene. In intervening time, researchers have a great deal about Huntingtin's involvement number cellular processes. However, role key pathogenic mechanism leading to neurodegeneration process yet be discovered. Here, we review body knowledge that uncovered gene discovery and include discussions HTT gene, CAG expansion, expression, protein features, posttranslational modifications, many its known functions interactions. We also highlight potential mechanisms come light recent years.
