1 To identify novel therapeutic targets, we recently employed the approach of tandem affinity purification and discovered that calretinin (Cr), a member of the EF-hand family of calcium-binding proteins, is preferentially associated with mHtt, although it also interacts with wild-type Htt.

3 In addition, over-expression of Cr was also associated with reduction of intracellular free calcium and activation of Akt. Calcium calbindin 2 Homo sapiens
