medicine | UCH-L1 is an important component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and is linked to Parkinson´s, Huntington´s, Alzheimer´s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. UCH-L1 is an attractive target for the development of new therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer´s disease | Homo sapiens |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
I93M | missense mutation in the UCH-L1 gene in a German family with a familial case of Parkinson´s disease, decreases hydrolytic activity | Homo sapiens |
S18Y | reduces risk of Parkinson´s disease. The protective role reflects a restricted mechanism only applied in sporadic Parkinson´s disease patients. The mutant is less likely to form dimers. Mutation also present in patients with earlier/later onset of Huntington´s disease | Homo sapiens |
