DJ-1 is a protein expressed in many tissues including the brain where it has been extensively studied due to its association with Parkinson's Disease (PD). DJ-1 was reported to function as an antioxidant, redox-sensitive molecular chaperone, and transcription regulator, which protected cells from oxidative stress by modifying signaling pathways that regulate cell survival. Here we discuss our progress toward characterization of the DJ-1 function in the protection of RPE to oxidative stress.
DJ-1 是一种在许多组织中表达的蛋白质,包括大脑,由于其与帕金森病(PD)的关联,因此在大脑中进行了广泛的研究。DJ-1 被报道具有抗氧化剂、氧化还原敏感的分子伴侣和转录调节因子的功能,通过修饰调节细胞存活的信号通路来保护细胞免受氧化应激。在这里,我们讨论了我们在表征 DJ-1 在保护 RPE 免受氧化应激中的功能方面的进展。
