  • Treatment of Protein Misfolding
    Publication number: 20080014191
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to preventing the consequences of the misfolding of proteins, such as those associated with protein folding diseases. Provided are methods of treatment that involve administering an agent that decreases the level of the heat shock protein ATPase Aha1 and/or related molecules with similar function. Such methods can result in the rescue of folding, trafficking, and function of proteins with suboptimal folding kinetics.
