The kinase activity of LRRK2 is responsible for phosphorylation of a subset of Rab small GTPase (Steger et al., 2016), which are important for exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, and endolysosomal and Golgi apparatus protein sorting (Bae and Lee, 2020)
When the peptide binds to these receptors, it initiates a signaling cascade that increases the expression of lipolytic enzymes, particularly hormone-sensitive lipase, which breaks down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol
