Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is encoded by the PARK8 gene of the Parkinson gene family and is abundant in brain striatal neurons. Recently, it was discovered that LRRK2 is involved in the molecular mechanism of Parkinson's disease. Knockout of the LRRK2 molecule will result in decreased activity of protein kinase A (PKA) of "striatal projection neurons" (SPNs), hyperphosphorylation of the regulator "Cofilin" of the cytoskeletal protein actin, and density of "dendritic spines" Reduced, synaptic fertility delay, showing the pathological characteristics of Parkinson's disease.
