Abstract excerpt
HtrA2, a proapoptotic mitochondrial serine protease, promotes cellular protection against oxidative damage. Literature reports show positive correlation between loss of HtrA2 protease activity and Parkinson's Disease (PD) susceptibility. Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in murine-HtrA2, and when they rarely occur in humans result in severe neurodegeneration and infantile death. Here, we report a novel...
