Characterization of the frameshift c.515dupC knock-in mouse model of HSPB8-associated myopathy (MFM13) and evaluation of Trehalose as autophagy modulating therapy.
Heat shock protein family B member 8 (HSPB8) is a chaperone involved in the chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) complex. HSPB8 in conjunction with cochaperone BAG3, promotes autophagy-mediated removal of misfolded proteins associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations in HSPB8, previously associated with Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2L, have recently been linked to…
