PINK1

Gene symbol PINK1
Aliases -
Protein Name Serine/threonine-protein kinase PINK1, mitochondrial
Function Protects against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress by phosphorylating mitochondrial proteins. Involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy) by mediating activation and translocation of PRKN. Stop codons at position 437 in PINK1 are linked to an inheritable monogenetic form of Parkinson's disease and it results in the impairment of the Parkin-dependent perinuclear clustering and is characterized by a cellular phenotype: loss of mitophagy.

Description Stop codon at position 437 in PINK1 are linked to an inheritable monogenetic form of Parkinson's disease(PD) and it results in the impairment of the Parkin-dependent perinuclear clustering and is characterized by a cellular phenotype: loss of mitophagy. So, some researchers apply RNA-editing technology to recode the mutation in PINK1(W437X) to rescue the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy.
