Although a large variety of functions has been attributed to DJ- 1, currently no consensus has been found on its effective cellular activity. Indeed, the protein has been described as a transcriptional modulator, a regulator of mitochondrial activity, a stabilizer of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor （Nrf2）, a chaperone, a pro- tease, and a glutathione （GSH）-independent glyoxalase （Ariga et al., 2013）. Very recently, the additional participation of the protein to carbonvl stress defense has been emereing （Richarme et al., 2015）.展开更多
