ABSTRACT
Aberrant proteostasis is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Some proteostasis abnormalities are ameliorated by chaperones. Chaperones are divided into three groups molecular, pharmacological and chemical. Chemical chaperones intended to alleviate stress in organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are now being administered clinically. Of the chemical chaperones, 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) has been used as a research reagent, and its mechanism of action includes chaperone effects and the inhibition of histone deacetylase. Moreover, it also binds to the B-site of SEC24 and regulates COPII-mediated transport from the ER. Although its therapeutic effect may not be strong, elucidating the mechanism of action of 4-PBA may contribute to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases.
