Therapeutic potential of Parkin and its regulation in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain substantia nigra, resulting in motor and non-motor symptoms. While the exact etiology of PD remains elusive, a growing body of evidence suggests that dysfunction in the parkin protein plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Parkin is an E3 ubiquitin...
