The distinction between graduate school and professional school is somewhat like the distinction between basic science and applied science; the differences lie in the focus. In graduate school, students focus primarily on mastering a particular field of study.
Protein deglycase DJ-1, also known as Parkinson disease protein 7, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PARK7 gene.ARK7 belongs to the peptidase C56 family of proteins. The protein structures of human protein DJ-1, Escherichia coli chaperone Hsp31 and an Archaea protease are evolutionarily conserved.
Parkinson disease gene: A gene involved in the causation of Parkinson disease. There are a number of different autosomal dominant and recessive forms of Parkinson disease.They are called PARK1, PARK2, and so on: PARK1 is an autosomal dominant trait and is due to mutation in the alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA) on chromosome 4q21; 2  PARK2 is an autosomal recessive trait and is due to mutation in the gene encoding parkin on chromosome 6q25.2-q27; 3  PARK3 is an autosomal dominant trait and is due to a gene on chromosome 2p13;
