Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ATP13A2 gene are associated with Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS) and are found also in patients with various other types of parkinsonism. ATP13A2 encodes a predicted lysosomal P5-type ATPase that plays important roles in regulating cation homeostasis. Disturbance of cation homeostasis in brains is indicated in Parkinson disease pathogenesis. In this study, we explored the biological function of...
