Effect of post-mortem delay on N-terminal huntingtin protein fragments in human control and Huntington disease brain lysates.

Huntington disease is associated with elongation of a CAG repeat in the HTT gene that results in a mutant huntingtin protein. Several studies have implicated N-terminal huntingtin protein fragments in Huntington disease pathogenesis. Ideally, these fragments are studied in human brain tissue. Howeve...
