Gene: [06q2/PARK2] parkin; Parkinson disease, familial 2 (autosomal recessive); Parkinson disease, juvenile (PDJ; MIM:600116); [PDJ ]


COM

[1] Locus for juvenile parkinsonism maps to 6q25.2-q27, as indicated by linkage to markers D6S305 and D6S253 (Matsumine-1997).
[2] By positional cloning within this microdeletion, Kitada-1998 isolated a cDNA clone of 2,960 bp with a 1,395-bp open reading frame, encoding a protein of 465 amino acids with moderate similarity to ubiquitin (FAM:UBQ/00.0) at the amino terminus and with a RING-finger motif at the carboxy terminus."

GEN

The gene length: 500 kb; exons: 12 (Kitada-1998).

FUN

Parkin may function similarly to ubiquitin family members, and its defect in PDJ may interfere with the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic pathway leading to the death of nigral neurons."
