Abstract excerpt
Altered iron homeostasis has long been implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD), although the mechanisms have not been clear. Given the critical role of PD-related activating variants in leucine-rich repeat protein kinase 2 (LRRK2) within membrane trafficking pathways, we examined the impact of the homozygous variant LRRK2G2019S on iron homeostasis within the RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cell line with high iron...
