    Parkinson’s Patients Show Elevated Levels of GPNMB Protein in Brain

    Posted by Forum Moderator on September 2, 2018 at 1:49 pm

    Alterations in certain types of fat in a brain area called the substantia nigra may result in elevated levels of the GPNMB protein and drive neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease patients, according to Harvard researchers. The GPNMB protein has a well-known role in driving tumor progression by suppressing immune responses. The protein is also thought to regulate inflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative disorders, possibly exerting neuroprotective effects.
