Obor OECD: Cell biology
Huntingtin protein (HTT) participates in many molecular processes, which are disrupted by its mutation. Also, mutated huntingtin (mHTT) may gain new functions that are toxic to the cell. An example is the impairment of mitochondria function and the associated redox state. Since mitochondria are a major source of superoxide radicals, their dysfunction leads to energy deficit and oxidative stress. This state exhausts the antioxidant defence, resulting in impairment of cellular integrity and apoptosis.
