<i>TigarB</i> causes mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal loss in PINK1 deficiency
12 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Loss of function mutations in PINK1 typically lead to early onset Parkinson disease (PD). Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are emerging as a powerful new vertebrate model to study neurodegenerative diseases. We used a pink1 mutant (pink(-/-) ) zebrafish line with a premature stop mutation (Y431*) in the PINK1 kinase domain to identify molecular mechanisms leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of...
