MPTP mechanism
Description
This template traces how MPTP crosses the blood brain barrier, is converted by monoamine oxidase B into the toxic metabolite MPP+, and is taken up into dopaminergic neurons through the dopamine transporter. Inside the neuron, MPP+ inhibits Complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, lowering ATP production and raising reactive oxygen species.
