Properties of NACP/alpha-synuclein and its role in Alzheimer's disease.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 26 Jul 2000

Iwai A

Abstract excerpt

The precursor of the non-amyloid beta/A4 protein (non-Abeta) component of Alzheimer's disease amyloid (NACP)/alpha-synuclein is the human homologue of alpha-synuclein, a member of a protein family which includes alpha-, beta- and gamma-synuclein. This protein is thought to be involved in neuronal plasticity because of its unique expression, mainly in the telencephalon during maturation. Consequently,...
