Is Na+/K+ ATPase A Target to Treat Parkinson's Disease?
Abstract:
Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) plays important roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, little is known about the function of NKA in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we report that NKA activity is neuroprotective and that an antibody against the DR region of NKA represents a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of PD.
