• Enzyme
• Amino acid

Yoshitaka Nagai mainly investigates Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Ganglioside and Neurodegeneration. The Peptide, Glycolipid, Phage display and Peptide sequence research Yoshitaka Nagai does as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Tandem repeat, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies deal with areas such as Gene expression, Messenger RNA, Alternative splicing, Congenital muscular dystrophy and Dystrophin as well as Molecular biology.

His work in the fields of Cell biology, such as Effector, overlaps with other areas such as Compound eye. His work in Neurodegeneration addresses issues such as Spinocerebellar ataxia, which are connected to fields such as HSF1, Heat shock factor, RNA-binding protein and Ran. His Chaperone-mediated autophagy research integrates issues from BECN1, Autolysosome, MAP1LC3B, Computational biology and Programmed cell death.

His most cited work include:

• Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
• A toxic monomeric conformer of the polyglutamine protein. (266 citations)
• Glycolipids at the cell surface and their biological functions (264 citations)
