Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the parkin gene (PRKN) are the most common cause of autosomal-recessive juvenile Parkinson's disease (PD). PRKN encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is involved in multiple regulatory functions including proteasomal-mediated protein turnover, mitochondrial function, mitophagy, and cell survival. However, the precise molecular events mediated by PRKN mutations in PRKN-associated PD (PRKN-PD) remain...
