LRRK2 in Parkinson's disease: biochemical functions.

Abstract excerpt

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a large, complex, multidomain protein containing kinase and GTPase enzymatic activities and multiple protein-protein interaction domains. Mutations linked to autosomal dominant forms of Parkinson's disease result in amino acid changes throughout the protein and alterations in both its enzymatic properties and interactions. The best characterized mutation to date, G2019S,...
