Identifying altered canine and bovine proteins has proved to be particularly challenging since these species are poorly represented in current genomic databases. As a result of this, new bioinformatic tools (Multildent, http //expasy.org) have had to be developed to facilitate cross-species protein identification (Wilkins et al., 1998). The most significant change observed for bovine DCM was a sevenfold increase in the enzyme ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) (Weekes... 

Castegna et al, 2003 Sultana et al, 2006b). Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L-1 (UCH L-1), one of the components of the proteosomal pathway, was identified as an oxidized protein in the inferior parietal and hippocampal regions of AD, further suggesting a role for nitration in protein accumulation (Castegna et al., 2003 Sultana et al., 2006b). 

The PARKS-linked PD gene has been reported as the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase-Ll (UCHLl) located on chromosome 4pl3 (Leroy et al., 1998). UCHLl is a protein of 223 amino acids, 9 exons, and a transcript length of 1172 bps (Wilkinson et al., 1989) (Fig. 8).
