YELLOW CAMELLIAS: A REVIEW OF CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES by Thi Diep Trinh

“…Chemical and biological studies have only been carried out on a few species, with the main focus on the Chinese species Camellia nitidissima, but have shown that the main active ingredients of these yellow camellia species include flavonoids, phenolic compounds, saponins, triterpenoids, phytosterols, essential oils, amino acids, and polysaccharides. Many pharmacological studies have proved that the total extracts, fractions, and isolated substances from yellow camellia species possess antioxidant, anticancer, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, antiallergic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, anxiolytic, and antidepressant activities. …”

The N17 domain of huntingtin as a multifaceted player in Huntington’s disease by Hyunju Cho

“…Huntington’s disease (HD) is primarily caused by the aberrant aggregation of the N-terminal exon 1 fragment of mutant huntingtin protein (mHttex1) with expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeats in neurons. The first 17 amino acids of the N-terminus of Httex1 (N17 domain) immediately preceding the polyQ repeat domain are evolutionarily conserved across vertebrates and play multifaceted roles in the pathogenesis of HD. …”
