Funded Activity Summary

Establishing the role of alpha-2-macroglobulin in quality control of extracellular protein folding. The expected outcomes will provide important advances in understanding the role of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) in maintaining the normal structure/function of extracellular proteins. This information may ultimately aid in the design of agents to be used to clear the body of pathological protein aggregates - potentially providing a direct economic benefit to Australia. The high novelty and broad significance of this work indicate that it will produce high-impact publications which will tangibly assist Australia being recognized as a major contributor to world research outcomes. This project will also provide a direct social benefit by training research students with the skills necessary to further the development of biological research in Australia.
