LRRK2 kinase activity regulates lysosomal glucocerebrosidase in neurons derived from Parkinson’s disease patients

Abstract

Mutations in LRRK2 and GBA1, which encodes glucocerebrosidase (GCase), are associated with Parkinson’s disease. Here the authors show that LRRK2 is a negative regulator of lysosomal GCase activity, using dopaminergic neurons derived from iPSCs from PD patients with LRRK2 mutations.
