This article reviews the PINK1 protein product, which has been implicated in several functions, mostly aimed at protecting neuronal cells against different types of stress.

For nearly 20 years, we have known that mutations in the protein PINK1 cause early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Our big breakthrough is that for the first time, we have been able to see what human PINK1 ...

In particular, PINK1 has been linked to young-onset Parkinson’s Disease, which affects people under the age of 50. Despite the known link, researchers have previously been unable to visualise ...

PINK1 has therefore been suggested as a potential therapy for those with Parkinson’s for a long time, but this was hard to do because we didn’t really understand how it did its job.

How PINK1 causes Parkinson’s “When PINK1 is mutated, it cannot perform its signaling function, and so mitochondria are not effectively cleaned up.
