Identification of Novel Parkinson’s Disease Genes Involved in Parkin Mediated Mitophagy

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated as one of the primary causes of Parkinson's disease (PD). The proteins PINK1, a serine-threonine kinase, and Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, are mutated in many genetic cases of PD. In healthy individuals, Parkin is recruited to damaged mitochondria...
