The unlikely partnership between LRRK 2 and α‐synuclein in Parkinson's disease

Abstract excerpt

Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease, the once archetypical nongenetic neurogenerative disorder, has dramatically increased with the identification of α-synuclein and LRRK2 pathogenic mutations. While α-synuclein protein composes the aggregates that can spread through much of the brain in disease, LRRK2 encodes a multidomain dual-enzyme distinct from any other protein linked to...
