More generally, we have to bear in mind that whether recessive parkinsonism has anything to do with α-synuclein is still an open question.
This discussion indicates that the genes responsible for recessive parkinsonism all have different functions but are all, in a broad sense, neuroprotective.
For example, it is not clear whether all the genetic diseases given PARK nomenclature have Lewy bodies and should be considered “true” PD—the term parkinsonism is preferred for these syndromes (Hardy and Langston 2004).
The genes involved in recessive parkinsonism are, in order of discovery, parkin, DJ-1, and PINK1 . The three protein products of these genes all have different functions, thus implicating several different cellular functions in neuroprotection.
It is not yet firmly established which activity of DJ-1 is most relevant to recessive parkinsonism.
