## Abstract A number of proteins are known to interact with huntingtin (htt), the Huntington's disease (HD) protein. Understanding the function of these httβassociated proteins could help elucidate the pathogenesis of HD and the role that htt plays in the disease process. The present review focuses

## Abstract Gangliosides constitute a large and heterogeneous family of acidic glycosphingolipids that contain one or more sialic acid residues and are expressed in nearly all vertebrate cells. Their __de novo__ synthesis starts at the endoplasmic reticulum and is continued by a combination of glyc
## Abstract The subcellular location and function of many proteins are regulated by nuclearβcytoplasmic shuttling. BRCA1 and BARD1 provide an interesting model system for understanding the influence of protein dimerization on nuclear transport and localization. These proteins function predominantly
Proceeding from the recent finding that the main components of the Ca++ signal pathway are located in small membrane protrusions on the surface of differentiated cells, called microvilli, a novel concept of cellular Ca++ signaling was developed. The main features of this concept can be summarized as
The main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a polymerized form of the b-amyloid peptide (Ab) and is considered to play a central role in the pathogenesis of this neurodegenerative disorder. Ab is derived from the proteolytic processing of t
