abstract：:Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is the causal molecule of familial Parkinson's disease (PD), but its true physiological function remains unknown. In the normal mouse, LRRK2 is expressed in kidney, spleen, and lung at much higher levels than in brain, suggesting that LRRK2 may play an important role in these organ...
