PARK7 Parkinsonism associated deglycase

Gene ID: 11315, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DJ1; DJ-1; GATD2; HEL-S-67p

Summary

The product of this gene belongs to the peptidase C56 family of proteins. It acts as a positive regulator of androgen receptor-dependent transcription. It may also function as a redox-sensitive chaperone, as a sensor for oxidative stress, and it apparently protects neurons against oxidative stress and cell death. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease 7. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.
