HSPA9/Mortalin mediates axo-protection and modulates mitochondrial dynamics in neurons

Abstract Mortalin is a mitochondrial chaperone protein involved in quality control of proteins imported into the mitochondrial matrix, which was recently described as a sensor of neuronal stress. Mortalin is down-regulated in neurons of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and levels of Mortalin...
