About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to cure NGLY1 deficiency. We do this by pioneering approaches to scientific discovery that are faster, less expensive and more collaborative.
About
Stanford University (Bertozzi Lab) - Team began investigating a possible role for ferroptosis and oxidative stress in the pathologies associated with NGLY1 deficiency. These findings touch on known pathways and could therefore inform potential therapeutic strategies. Additionally, the team made significant progress on a fluorogenic probe to detect NGLY1 activity in live cells that does not require the cells to be genetically engineered. The team also developed a first version of NGLY1-TurboID, a system designed to identify NGLY1 interactors and potential substrates. This is critical to uncovering proteins involved in NGLY1 function as well as additional proteins, like NFE2L1, that NGLY1 may regulate through deglycosylation. Such proteins could serve as potential targets for a small compound therapeutic and could provide essential insight into NGLY1 biology.
