“Plasma Membrane Calcium Atpase downregulation in dopaminergic neurons alters cellular physiology and behavior in Drosophila melanogaster”
2019-07-25
Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of calcium is proposed to account for selective dopaminergic neuron (DN) dysfunctionality, a characteristic of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). To test the in vivo impact of calcium increment in DN physiology we downregulated the Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase (PMCA), a bomb that extrudes cytosolic calcium, in those neurons in Drosophila melanogaster. Using th -GAL4>PMCA RNAi , PMCA was selectively reduc...
