This gene encodes a protein that is conserved across
metazoans. In vertebrates, this gene is linked in a head-to-head
arrangement with the adjacent parkin gene, which is associated with
autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson's disease. These genes are
co-regulated in various tissues and they share a bi-directional
promoter. Both genes are associated with susceptibility to leprosy.
The parkin co-regulated gene protein forms a large molecular
complex with chaperones, including heat shock proteins 70 and 90,
and chaperonin components. This protein is also a component of Lewy
bodies in Parkinson's disease patients, and it suppresses unfolded
Pael receptor-induced neuronal cell death. Multiple transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Rose, J.E., et al. Mol. Med. 16 (7-8), 247-253 (2010) :
