Role of SAP102 in mutant Huntingtin-mediated regulation of NMDA receptor function in the YAC transgenic mouse model of Huntington Disease

Huntington disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease, which is caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the protein huntingtin (htt). Increasing evidence suggests that the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor plays a role in mediating death of striatal me...
