General description

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a 2,527 amino acid protein encoded by the PARK8 gene and belonging to the ROCO family of proteins. This protein family is characterized as having a unique interaction between the Roc domain and the intrinsic GTPase activity along with a COR domain. LRKK2 consists of 5 different domains; a tyrosine kinase-like MAPKKK-related domain, WD40 propeller motif repeats, a Roc (Ras-like small GTPase family) domain, a COR (C-terminal of Roc) domain, and an LRRK. LRRK2 is mainly localized to the cytoplasm and expression within tissue is most highly observed within the brain. It is found in lower levels within the liver, heart, lung, skeletal muscles, placenta, pancreas, and kidney. The exact function of LRRK2 is unknown; however mutations to any of the five domains are the most commonly known causes of Parkinson’s disease, both familial and sporadic. Further study of this protein may lead to a better understanding of the disease’s pathogenesis, as well as potential therapeutic markers.

Autosomal dominant mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Most pathogenic LRRK2 mutations result in amino acid substitutions in the central ROC (Ras of complex proteins)-C-terminus of ROC-kinase triple domain and affect enzymatic functions
Ruth Chia et al.

LRRK2, a gene relevant to Parkinson's disease, encodes a scaffolding protein with both GTPase and kinase activities. LRRK2 protein is itself phosphorylated and therefore is subject to regulation by cell signalling; however, the kinase(s) responsible for this event have not
