LRRK2 Kinase Activity Regulates Parkinson’s Disease-Relevant Lipids at the Lysosome
2022-12-19
Abstract excerpt
Lysosomal dysfunction is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD), and variants in several PD-associated genes, including LRRK2 , perturb lysosomal homeostasis. Based on this, LRRK2 kinase inhibition is being explored as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of PD. LRRK2 inhibitors reduce levels of BMP, an endolysosomal lipid involved in glycosphingolipid (GSL) catabolism, in urine from preclinical models and cl...
