Midnolin is a novel regulator of parkin expression and is associated with Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract Midnolin (MIDN) was first discovered in embryonic stem cells, but its physiological and pathological roles are, to date, poorly understood. In the present study, we therefore examined the role of MIDN in detail. We found that in PC12 cells, a model of neuronal cells, MIDN localized primaril...
