Experimental therapeutics in transgenic mouse models of Huntington's disease

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and mithramycin modulate the binding of transcription factors, which then alters gene transcription to counteract the effects of mutant huntingtin (Htt) on transcription. CBP, CREB (cyclic-AMP-response element-binding protein) binding protein; HD, Huntington's disease.
