?-synuclein is developmentally expressed in cultured rat brain oligodendrocytes
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Although a neuronal protein, alpha-synuclein is a major component of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) in oligodendrocytes of multiple system atrophy (MSA) brains. Because alpha-synuclein has not been identified in oligodendrocytes of normal brains, we examined cultured rat brain oligodendrocytes during in vitro development and showed that alpha-synuclein mRNA and protein are present in cultured...
