Adult-Onset Deletion of ATP13A2 in Mice Induces Progressive Nigrostriatal Pathway Dopaminergic Degeneration and Lysosomal Abnormalities

Mutations in ATP13A2 gene can cause familial Parkinson's disease. Deleting ATP13A2 in adult mice leads to dopaminergic nerve terminal loss and neuronal degeneration, mimicking symptoms of ATP13A2-related neurodegenerative diseases.
