Similarly to motor neurons, DRG neurons of SOD1G93A mice accumulate mutant/misfolded SOD1.
DRG neurons of SOD1G93A mice do not suffer from ER stress and UPR activation.
DRG neurons do not express detectable levels of the SOD1 interactor derlin-1.
These differences may underlie the different vulnerability of motor and sensory neurons to SOD1.
