Abstract excerpt
Synucleins are neuronal proteins detectable in the neuropathological lesions of several cerebral disorders. Thus, alpha-synuclein immunoreactivity is found in Lewy bodies, the histopathological hallmark of sporadic Parkinson disease-affected brains. When mutated, alpha-synuclein seems to be responsible for some familial forms of Parkinson disease. As Lewy bodies are enriched in ubiquitinated structures and also...
