Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is a deubiqutinating enzyme . A point mutation (I93M) in the gene encoding this protein is implicated as the cause of Parkinson's disease in one kindred. Furthermore, a polymorphism (S18Y) in this gene has been found to be associated with a reduced risk for Parkinson's disease.

UbiquitinUbiquitin is a small protein that occurs in most eukaryotic cells. Its main function is to mark other proteins for destruction, known as proteolysis. Several ubiquitin molecules attach to the condemned protein, and it then moves to a proteasome, a barrel-

Ubiquitin ligaseA Ubiquitin ligase is a protein which covalently attaches ubiquitin to a lysine residue on a target protein. The ubiquitin ligase is typically involved in polyubiquitylation: a second ubiquitin is attached to the first, a third is attached to the second,
