LRRK2 kinase activity regulates lysosomal glucocerebrosidase in neurons derived from Parkinson’s disease patients
5 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in LRRK2 and GBA1 are common genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) and major efforts are underway to develop new therapeutics that target LRRK2 or glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Here we describe a mechanistic and therapeutic convergence of LRRK2 and GCase in neurons derived from patients with PD. We find that GCase activity was reduced in dopaminergic (DA) neurons derived from PD patients with...
