1 A hydrocortisone derivative binds to GAPDH and reduces the toxicity of extracellular polyglutamine-containing aggregates. polyglutamine glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Rattus norvegicus
2 Here, we show that RX624, a derivative of hydrocortisone that binds to GAPDH, prevents the formation of aggregates of GAPDH-polyglutamine excreted into the culture medium by PC-12 rat cells expressing mutant huntingtin. polyglutamine glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Rattus norvegicus
3 Here, we show that RX624, a derivative of hydrocortisone that binds to GAPDH, prevents the formation of aggregates of GAPDH-polyglutamine excreted into the culture medium by PC-12 rat cells expressing mutant huntingtin. polyglutamine glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Rattus norvegicus
4 RX624 was previously shown to be unable to penetrate cells and, thus, its principal therapeutic action might be the inhibition of polyglutamine-GAPDH complex aggregation in the extracellular matrix. polyglutamine glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Rattus norvegicus
