Background Information
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat in the N-terminal portion of huntingtin protein to a length above 35-40 units (PMID: 26047735; 19507258). The mutational expansion of polyglutamine above a critical length causes a toxic gain of function in huntingtin and results in neuronal death. In the course of the disease, expanded huntingtin is proteolyzed, becomes abnormally folded, and accumulates in oligomers, fibrils, and microscopic inclusions (PMID: 25336039). The anti-polyglutamine (polyQ) antibody MW1 specifically binds the polyQ domain of huntingtin exon 1. On western blot, the MW1 clone strongly prefers to bind to the expanded polyQ repeat form of Htt, displaying no detectable binding to normal huntingtin (PMID: 11719267).
