Genetic analysis of the alpha2-macroglobulin gene in early- and late-onset Parkinson's disease.

abstract：:Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 is a serpin that regulates the activities of plasminogen activators. However, its physiological roles in the CNS are incompletely understood. We have found that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 has a novel biological function in the CNS: the contribution to survival of neurites on ne...
