Disease relevance of KIAA1804

 

High impact information on KIAA1804

  • While definitive functions of LRRK2 have yet to be described, the domain structure of LRRK2 suggests that it plays an important role in the regulation of signal transduction cascades through its dual enzymatic activities of GTPase and MAPKKK [3].
  • This large complex protein of 280kDa contains several functional domains including leucine-rich repeats, Ras-related GTPase, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK), and WD40 repeats [3].
  • Lrrk2 is a member of the Roc (Ras of complex proteins) family, with Ras GTPase and MAPKKK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase) catalytic domains [4].
