Species reactivity (expected):Chimpanzee, African green monkey, zebrafish and mutant/variant forms of human DJ-1 protein (100 %).. Cross reactivity with frog, mouse, rat, dog, chicken, Japanese rice fish and Atlantic salmon may also cross react as the sequence varies by only one amino acid residue as indicated by BLAST analysis. Species reactivity (tested):Human.

The product of the PARK7 gene, known as PARK7, Parkinson disease (autosomal recessive, early onset) 7, DJ-1 mutant, and DJ-1 oncogene product, functions as a positive regulator of androgen receptor-dependent transcription. PARK7 may also function as a redoxsensitive chaperone and as a sensor for oxidative stress and also has been reported to prevent aggregation of SNCA. PARK7 protects neurons against oxidative stress and cell death and plays a role in fertilization. While PARK7 has no proteolytic activity, it does have a weak transforming activity. PARK7 forms a homodimer and binds to DJBP and PIAS2. PARK7 is part of a ternary complex containing PARK7, DJBP and AR and shows both a nuclear and cytoplasmic localization. In some cells, PARK7 is associated with mitochondria, particularly after oxidative stress. This protein is highly expressed in pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, liver, testis and heart tissue, and is expressed at lower levels in placenta and brain. PARK7 is detected in tau inclusions in brains from neurodegenerative disease patients, in astrocytes, Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, spermatids and spermatozoa. Defects in PARK7 are the cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease 7 (PARK7). Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex, multifactorial disorder that is characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, response to treatment with levodopa, the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins) in surviving neurons.Synonyms: Oncogene DJ1, Parkinson disease protein 7
