New research shows that B12 inhibits key enzyme activity in Parkinson’s Disease (LRRK2). Though this research is limited to cellular and animal models at this point, as Iban Ubarretxena pointed out this, “constitutes a huge step forward because it is a neuroprotective vitamin in animal models and has a mechanism unlike that of currently existing inhibitors. So it could be used as a basis to develop new therapies to combat hereditary Parkinson’s associated with pathogenic variants of the LRRK2 enzyme”.
Vitamin B12 Inhibits Key Enzyme in Parkinson’s Disease | Technology NetworksAlthough most cases of Parkinson’s are sporadic, the inheritable variants of the disease are mainly associated with mutations of the gene that encodes the LRRK2 enzyme. Inhibitors of LRRK2 do exist, however they have many undesirable side effects. Vitamin B12, according to a new study, inhibits the kinase activity of LRRK2 and thus presents as a novel class of modulator for the enzyme. -
