RTP801 has been found upregulated in toxin-induced PD animal models such as 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), MPTP/MPP+ and rotenone, as well as in the substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons of PD patients, while NEDD4-1 seems to be downregulated [283]. This evidence concerns the gene DDIT4 and Parkinson disease.
