Enhanced sensitivity of DJ-1-deficient dopaminergic neurons to energy metabolism impairment: Role of Na+/K+ ATPase
DJ-1 gene mutations lead to an inherited form of early-onset parkinsonism. The function of DJ-1 is unclear, though a neuroprotective role has been postulated. Electrophysiological recordings were made of striatal and dopaminergic nigral neurons both of wild-type (WT) and DJ-1-knockout (DJ-1−/−) mice...
