In histology, the expression and function of the park2 gene can be studied using various techniques. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is commonly used to detect parkin protein in tissue sections. This technique involves using antibodies specific to parkin to visualize its localization and expression levels within cells and tissues. Additionally, in situ hybridization can be employed to detect park2 mRNA transcripts, providing insights into the gene's expression patterns.
