This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. This project is designed to develop, characterize, compare and contrast two prototypes for a genetically modified mouse model for a human disease of protein folding. Diseases caused by misfolding include cystic fibrosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, retinitis pigmentosa, hypercholesterolemia, cataracts, neurodegenerative diseases (Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), particular cancers and a number of digestive disorders resulting from enzyme mutation. It is fair to say that virtually every person will be affected by protein folding diseases during his or her lifetime, either directly or due to the illness of a loved one. In spite of this, there are few model systems, and none in rodents, that allow the translation of the available cell-culture data on protein rescue into in vivo systems. A convenient laboratory model for the use of pharmacoperones will be designed in order to translate pharmacoperone use to treatment of human disease.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 该项目旨在开发、表征、比较和对比两种用于人类蛋白质折叠疾病的转基因小鼠模型原型。由错误折叠引起的疾病包括囊性纤维化、低促性腺激素性性腺功能减退症、肾源性尿崩症、色素性视网膜炎、高胆固醇血症、白内障、神经变性疾病（亨廷顿氏病、阿尔茨海默氏病和帕金森氏病）、特定癌症和由酶突变引起的许多消化障碍。公平地说，几乎每个人都会在一生中受到蛋白质折叠疾病的影响，无论是直接还是由于亲人的疾病。尽管如此，有几个模型系统，没有在啮齿动物，允许翻译的可用细胞培养数据的蛋白质救援到体内系统。将设计一个方便的实验室模型，用于使用药物，以将药物用于治疗人类疾病。
