DJ1, also known as Parkinson disease protein 7, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PARK7gene. Its weak glyoxalase activity has been verified by many labs, however the reported protein deglycase activity is likely to be an artifact stemming from DJ-1's ability to destroy free methylglyoxal.
