Cryo-EM structure of the full-length disease type human huntingtin #226728501
Description
Huntingtin is a disease gene linked to Huntington`s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons. This is thought to be caused by an expanded, unstable trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene, which translates as a polyglutamine repeat in the protein product. 3D cartoon model, secondary structure color scheme, based on PDB 6yej, white background.
