Na+/H+ exchangers induce autophagy in neurons and inhibit polyglutamine-induced aggregate formation.

In polyglutamine diseases, an abnormally elongated polyglutamine results in protein misfolding and accumulation of intracellular aggregates. Autophagy is a major cellular degradative pathway responsible for eliminating unnecessary proteins, including polyglutamine aggregates. Basal autophagy constit...
