Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PARK8, encoding leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), are a major cause of Parkinson's disease. We contrast data suggesting that changes in LRRK2 activity cause alterations in mitogen-activated protein kinase, translational control, tumor necrosis factor α/Fas ligand and Wnt signaling pathways with the cell biological functions of LRRK2 such as vesicle trafficking. Despite scarce in vivo data on cell...
