AI Article Synopsis
- PINK1 is a putative kinase involved in regulating mitochondrial function and mitophagy, which is essential for cell health.
- Dysregulation of PINK1 is linked to various mitochondrial-associated disorders, including liver, heart diseases, cancer, and Parkinson's disease.
- The exploration of natural products that can regulate PINK1 is promising for developing treatments for these diseases and improving our understanding of how these natural products work.
Article Abstract
, also known as , is a -induced putative kinase 1 that is encoded by nuclear genes. PINK1 is ubiquitously expressed and regulates mitochondrial function and mitophagy in a range of cell types. The dysregulation of PINK1 is associated with the pathogenesis and development of mitochondrial-associated disorders. Many natural products could regulate PINK1 to relieve PINK1-associated diseases. Here, we review the structure and function of PINK1, its relationship to human diseases, and the regulation of natural products to PINK1. We further highlight that the discovery of natural PINK1 regulators represents an attractive strategy for the treatment of PINK1-related diseases, including liver and heart diseases, cancer, and Parkinson's disease. Moreover, investigating PINK1 regulation of natural products can enhance the in-depth comprehension of the mechanism of action of natural products.
