abstract：:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is associated with an expansion of CAG/polyglutamine-repeat of a gene of unknown function. We performed an immunohistochemical study to identify the immunolocalization of the disease protein ataxin-2 in normal and SCA2 patients. Although normal and expanded ataxin-2 were ubiquitous...
