LRRK2 at the Crossroad Between Autophagy and Microtubule Trafficking
6 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 ( lrrk2) gene cause inherited Parkinson's disease (PD), and common variants in lrrk2 are a risk factor for sporadic PD. The neuropathology associated with LRRK2-linked PD is extremely pleomorphic involving inclusions of α-synuclein (SNCA), tau or neither, therefore suggesting that LRRK2 may be central in the pathogenic pathways of PD. This large protein localizes in the...
