PRKN Gene Information

HGNC symbol
PRKN 
Aliases
AR-JP; PARK2; parkin; PDJ 
Common name
parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 
Entrez Id
5071
Description
The precise function of this gene is unknown; however, the encoded protein is a component of a multiprotein E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that mediates the targeting of substrate proteins for proteasomal degradation. Mutations in this gene are known to cause Parkinson disease and autosomal recessive juvenile Parkinson disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional splice variants of this gene have been described but currently lack transcript support.
