Regulation of DJ-1 by Glutaredoxin 1 in Vivo: Implications for Parkinson’s Disease
19 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, caused by the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Mutations in PARK7 (DJ-1) result in early onset autosomal recessive PD, and oxidative modification of DJ-1 has been reported to regulate the protective activity of DJ-1 in vitro. Glutathionylation is a prevalent redox modification of proteins...
