Netrin‐1 is reduced in the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and PD genetic and neurotoxin mouse models, accompanied with prominent asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) activation and UNC5C fragmentation. Netrin‐1 deprivation in primary cultures induces AEP and caspase‐3 activation, triggering UNC5C fragmentation and neuronal loss.
