Özet

Proteasomal degradation of damaged proteins is involved in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, stroke, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A malfunction of the proteasomal activity may be the result or the consequence of protein aggregation, which is a key process for most neurodegenerative diseases. Because of the widespread aspects of the proteasomal involvement in the progression of these diseases, many studies are focused on this research.
