Abstract

The role of UCH-L1 in neuronal function is becoming more apparent with the use of refined cellular and molecular approaches and several in vitro and in vivo model systems. Although the I93M-UCH-L1 mutant and S18Y-UCH-L1 variant are clearly involved in the pathogenesis of PD, our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of UCH-L1 function is still limited. Further investigation of the relationship between neurodegeneration and UCH-L1 modifications should help to elucidate the mechanisms of pathogenesis in PD and AD and may suggest novel targets for therapeutic intervention.
