Products of the Parkinson’s-disease related glyoxalase DJ-1, D-lactate and glycolate, support mitochondrial membrane potential and neuronal survival

Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease is associated with mitochondrial decline in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra . One of the genes, DJ-1/PARK7, linked with the onset of Parkinson’s disease, belongs to a novel glyoxalase family and influences mitochondrial activity. It has been assumed that glyoxalases fulfill this task by detoxifying aggressive aldehyde by-products of metabolism. Here we show that supplying either D...
