Brain proteasomal function in sporadic Parkinson's disease and related disorders
3 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Because genetic defects relating to the ubiquitin-proteasome system were reported in familial parkinsonism, we evaluated proteasomal function in autopsied brains with sporadic Parkinson's disease. We found that proteasome peptidase activities in a fraction specific to the proteasome were preserved in five brain areas (including the striatum) of Parkinson's disease where neuronal loss is not observed. Striatal...
