Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2023 May 25. doi: 10.1038/s41401-023-01104-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative motor disorder characterized by a dramatic reduction in pars compacta of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and striatal dopamine (DA) levels. Mutations or deletions in the PARK7/DJ-1 gene are associated with an early-onset familial form of PD. DJ-1 protein prevents neurodegeneration via its ... read more
