In vivo susceptibility to energy failure parkinsonism and LRRK2 kinase activity
The G2019S mutation of LRRK2 represents a risk factor for idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Here, we investigate whether LRRK2 kinase activity regulates susceptibility to the environmental toxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

Regulated Expression and Function of the Somatodendritic Catecholamine Neurotransmitter Transporters
Termination of neurotransmission at catecholaminergic synapses is well documented by the transporters for dopamine and norepinephrine, members of the Na+/Cl−-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family, which accumulates released transmitters within ...
