abstract：:Mutation in DJ-1 gene is the cause of autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease, however, its physiological function remains unclear. The isoelectric point of DJ-1 shows an acidic shift after cells are treated with hydrogen peroxide. This suggests that DJ-1 is modified in response to oxidative stress. Here we report the...
