Background/Objectives: The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) serves critical cellular homeostatic functions that contribute to neurological health, including neuronal metabolism, synaptic plasticity, and the molecular circadian clock. The UPS is tightly regulated to ensure the correct balance of healthy proteins and those targeted for degradation and recycling; malfunction in this quality control process can contribute to disease states such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Target specificity in...
